Low temerpature can slow or inhibit the precipitation of the melamine in the CYA test. It would be best to allow the sample of water to come to normal room temperature indoors before doing it if the outside temp is cold. It would also be a good idea to let the test bottle sit for a few mintues and then shaking again before transfering to the measurment tube (with the black dot on the bottom) to insure a more accurate reading.
