Red face Dodged a bullet this time!

Well to start with I'm from the south so cold to me is a little frost on the grass in the morning. Since I've been here in Scotsville, Va a little south of Charlottesville. Everything has stayed frozen. I cranked up my truck like every morning and let her run awhile so she is all warmed up. While I was eating my breakfast I heard my truck cut out then slowly die off like it was out of gas. So I go outside the see what the hell. There it was steam pouring out from under the hood. So I break and run pop the hood and I noteced that the upper radiator hose was off of the water neck and steam just shooting out. Well after further investigation my radiator was froze solid. When I got home from work tonight I kept pouring hot water in the radiator to thaw it out once that was done I got the engine to crank up and everything seems to run fine. I think when the hose popped off, it shot water all over the carb which killed the engine cause the K&N had water pouring off of it. THANK GOD. In short check your antifreeze. I got really lucky THIS TIME
