Can I leave my spirit level in a winterized house? (lemmy.world)

I own a house in the midwest and recently got a spirit level for some repairs. However, I don't stay here in the winter - I go south where it's warmer. Can I leave my level here in the house? temps will probably get down to -30 or so.

While vodka technically freezes at -27C (-16F), alcohol solutions rarely freezes in the normal sense. It generally forms a sludge, and doesn't crack the bottle. It should be safe to store in the cold.

The freezing point of ethanol is -173.5°F. so I'm going to say it's safe.
