Cement left in cold (in weatherproof bags)

[loply]

Hi folks,

I had 20 plastic weatherproof bags of cement delivered a few weeks ago, was expecting to use them but the weather turned.

Will it do them any harm leaving outside in the freezing temps / frost / etc? Been there for a few weeks now... I put them under a tarp to help keep the rain off but I'm wondering about frost and low temps.

Cheers,
Rich

The bags are not waterproof, though they are better then the "paper" bags". Low temperatures are good they will delay (a bit) the reaction time in the bag, so the cement would last longer then if the temperature was high. When you use it it will go off quickly so no dilly-dallying around!
