Do you have hot water at the tub faucet? Could be that everybody else's theory of a frozen pipe is correct. However, I suspect that something else is going on.

east wall...

turn the cold on allowing it enough to drip... air in the lines and first chance of it thawing this will help a bit... you need to find out where it's getting the air (draft) from and that will be where its froze...

Limoric,
Hog is right. If the pipe is frozen then you want to crack the faucet a little so that if any water can get past the ice plug the movement will help melt the plug.

On the other hand, did you try taking stem out of the cold side of the faucet? Do this slowly because if the line isn't frozen you will wind up flooding the bathroom. Just loosen the stem enough that it would leak if there was pressure behind it. If loosening the stem does produce a leak then you have a problem with the stem itself. Sometimes the little gaskets that make washerless faucets possible get stuck in the closed position and replacement is the only option.

Wohooooo!!!!! Got the water back. Left the faucet cracked as suggested and at 3am, I jumped 3 feet out of be from the sound of gushing water. Guess I had it open a little more than a crack. Very very cold water. Thanks for the advice guys.

Lim, now to just leave it breeched a bit (to a drip) instead of shuting it all the way off rather the vanity faucet or the tub.. the allowing the air passage will keep it from freezing over again... but come spring time I would make a note to look for that airflow because you do not want that happening again next winter!!!!!

glad to hear she opened up for ya!!!
