It is the "refrigation" factor. If the temp is just low enough ( that can
be 36 to 38 degrees, and you have rapid evaporation of a liquid ( into a
gas) , surface temps fall dramatically. So you had a wet hose, and a pretty
good wind ( I suspect) and that caused the freezing. This is how you get
actual freeze damage on the surface of hosta leaves, when tamps never
actually drop to 32 degrees F.
Thanks
