Without getting into the glass jar debate again...

Your idling problem sounds like your HHO is hooked up to the vacuum and you have a leak.

The best way to prevent freezing is to use a full strength electrolyte solution (KOH or NaOH) and employ a PWM to control amps.

Lol everyone hates on the glass jar :p. At least it wont melt, but it will break. Anyway, maybe a small cofee heater or simply do as painless says.

Last winter I ran my cell in Alaska all winter without a problem. I used a mixture of distilled water 75% and isopropal Alcohol 25% along with the KOH. not one freeze up even at 25 below zero. The only thing is I did not test HHO output. The fuel economy remaind the same as before winter or close (within 10%) but that happens every winter.
