1999 Chrysler Concorde, antifreeze on ground. Temp below zero, wind chill -20's. probabley not enough antifreeze in it. Question is what damage am I looking at? New Years day and no mechanics open, no where or way to put in a warm garage to thaw.

Hopefully, a freeze plug pushed out. Check that and hoses first. The worst case is a cracked block. However, the freeze plugs are designed to pop before the engine block cracks.
