Seems to be related to cold weather because it was -30 when it stopped and today it's -18 and its working .

Is the water heater running on natural gas or propane?
propane pressure is affected by the cold.

could have been with the extreme cold in Edmonton might of had a ice build up blocking part of the exhaust vent.

I checked for blockage and there was none that I could see and it's a natural gas heater.
I'm not sure what going on because it quit working again. I had to use the shower last so I found out that the heater wasn't working the cold way. Going snowboarding today so I'm going to deal with this when I get home.
