Most folks in areas that get cold have “sill cocks”, faucets that drain automatically rather than leave water in the faucet. A frozen faucet will most likely burst when it comes time to thaw. and people get tired of replacing them … but the hose is right. If it wasn’t drained, and was left attached to the faucet, then there’s be a bit of a problem, but SO WHAT? That has little to do with the story. We have to assume that it worked, and then enjoy the fun.
