What causes the cracks is rapid temperature changes--if you were to leave the heat off for a week, then come home and turn the furnace on for a couple days, then leave for a week and so on, you'd get cracks. But if you were to let the house sit over the winter, allowing it to gradually change temperature, you'd be fine. (This omits the effects of mold.) This actually happens all the time--if a manufacturer builds a manufactured home in December and parks it in the storage yard until it sells in April, it will sustain freezing temperatures for several months without damaging it.
