Usually this is due to the engine having frozen, normally due to insufficient or lack of Antifreeze. Or the failure of Block Heaters. Water expands when it freezes, metal contracts as it gets colder, consequently, the cooling system will burst at it's weakest point.
What causes your engine to burn antifreeze?
Your car shouldn't "burn" antifreeze. If it actually is "burning" antifreeze then chances are you have a blown/leaking head gasket or possibly a cracked engine block which allows antifreeze to enter the combustion chambers. If your antifreeze is just disappearing then it is probably leaking out from somewhere. Possible leak areas to check out would be the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump, and the heater core. Most of the time if the heater core is leaking you'll be able to smell the antifreeze inside the car while the engine is running and the heater is on.
