Woke up without any hot water as my pipes froze. For those of you in warmer climates, hot water pipes ALWAYS freeze before cold. No idea why...

At a guess, I'd say the hot water pipes are either smaller than the cold pipes (less water = faster freezing)

Hot water has less dissolved air/oxygen in it than cold water. That's why hot water in the ice cube trays will freeze faster than cold water. |
