I'm guessing it didn't break because the material is somewhat flexible, and probably it froze during the night, temperature went up again in the day, thus the ice started melting a bit, thus this.Impulse said:This is pretty weird. Usually when water freezes it expands a bit, so I'd expect it to be stuck in the hose, plus when you leave the water in the pipes outside it usually breaks the pipes (if you leave it out there for quite some time that is).
I'm guessing since the hose isn't tied off at the end (it's open to the air) that the expanding water just got pushed in that direction, instead of breaking the hose.Mave said:I'm guessing it didn't break because the material is somewhat flexible, and probably it froze during the night, temperature went up again in the day, thus the ice started melting a bit, thus this.Impulse said:This is pretty weird.
