No coffee or tea..frozen water line

When I flew into Minneapolis this morning from Charlotte, the US pilot told us it was -26F (note the MINUS sign). I didn't set foot outside the airport, but it was snowing lightly, and it looked freezing cold out there.

My UA flight left for ORD at 1pm, after being deiced, and the two seats in front of me were occupied by off duty pilots. When the F/A came back and asked for drink orders, one asked for coffee. She said we would not be having coffee on this flight, as the water line was frozen. She did pass out bottles of water in F, for a 45 min flight. I passed because I wanted a Heineken I can report the cans were not frozen.

Anyone else out flying today somewhere where it's freezing cold?
