    To prevent your water butt from freezing all you need to do is fill a plastic bottle with water and add a cup of salt and put the lid on.  Place the bottle into your water butt.  The salt will stop the water in the bottle from freezing and the bottle floating in the water will stop that from freezing.

    Thanks @rossdriscoll13, I'll maybe try that given that the chances of a 2010 winter are unlikely. But honestly I don't think it would have saved the one that split that year.
