Defrosting an engine?

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

If your radiator coolant is freezing in your radiator at -11F, then you need
to drain your coolant and change it for a true 50/50 coolant (protects to
-32'F)

It hit -11 here last night. The emp gauge on the radiator shows a quick rise

in temp, meaning the radiator froze. I hear no squeel from the water pump 
and the pully spins freely.
I am running the car up to the LED and then shutting off to allow the heat 
to melt the other side of the radiator. Slow work...

If I leave a 60w light under the hood will that help stop the heavy freeze? 
At least till tomorrow when I can get to the auto store for more anti 
freeze...

(Julie is HATEING winter this year)
