its always best to use room temp. water so you dont shock the roots.

next time fill some jugs and let them sit for a day.

I'd say if your room is warm enough you'll be ok

if my water gets to cold sitting on the basement floor i toss the jugs in the shower for 10 min or so to get it back to a better tem

Thats awesome lol.. when or why would that be useful though? can you freeze nutes in the ice cubes? lol

I use ice to slow the rate of water entering the soil. In summer months it's just a added bonus to keep the root zone cooler for a few minutes. It would also depend on pot size and room temps but If you water right you are not going to hurt the roots.
