I need some cold weather advice please...
Since I've moved to Kentucky I haven't had time to do much stained glass work.

My question is this: Can I score glass in colder climates just as easy as in warm climates?
I think I remember reading somewhere it is harder to score because it doesn't break along the score.

thanks in advance.

Cold glass is more difficult to break. Sometimes a hair dryer will warm the cut line up. Didn't work all the time for me, but often better than without it.

Ohhh, maybe I can use that for an excuse for bad breaks. It's freezing here.
