Anyone have any ideas for a helping to keep a hog waterer from freezeing? Without the use of electricity?

I'm in central illinois, it can stay below freezing here for up to a couple weeks at a time.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Would it work to keep the waterer in their shelter, so that their body heat warms it through the night and some solar gain keeps it through the day?
