That too is true. I didn't think about that when I sent my email out.
Maybe it is because it is currently -2 F outside (in March??!!) so I'm
more focused on the freezing side.

To which we should add (and remember) that antifreeze does more than
prevent freesing and minimizing corrosion. A 50/50 mixture of
antifreeze and distilled water also elevates the boiling point of the
coolant. Combine that with a pressurized colling system and you run a
much better chance of avoiding the dreaded summertime boil-over.
