Can window glass crack from cold?

[Max T.]

Can a window crack due to very cold exterior temperature? Here is the message from my tenant. "Hey max- this big crack appeared overnight in one of the kitchen windows, possibile because of the extreme cold from outside and heat from inside. Do you have something that can fill it?" The crack diagonally spans the entire window, from top left corner to bottom right corner. It has been very cold for the past few days here in philly. With that being said, these are high quality energy efficient windows that were purchased and installed about 5 yrs ago and qualified for a rebate.
