How do you know it didn't freeze, just not enough to break the container it was in? Did you actually poor it out to see if it was froze, or even chunky or slushy??
Concentrated antifreeze has a lower freezing point than water even if not mixed with water. I personally don't know at what temperature it would take for it to freeze solid.
Just about everywhere I go now, sells both straight and premixed antifreeze. I always by the straight and mix it myself. But I have found when I buy it, I have to look very close at the label to know I am buying the straight. You didn't buy some already mixed by mistake did you?
On another note, if you are like me, I store mixed antifreeze after I mix it in the very same containers I buy it in. I have been around it enough to know by how dark green it is wether it is mixed or not. You didn't by chance add the water to it 6, 8, 12 months ago and forgot that you already mixed it?
When I am changing antifreeze in a system, I might dump one gallon of water in, then one gallon of antifreeze in, and so on. But before the system is full, (less than a gallon and a half of being full), I switch to dumping it in already mixed. That is, if I am even on what I already dumped in. That way I stay right on my mixture in the system. Hence, that's why I end up with mixed antifreeze in a straight antifreeze container.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: 1964 JD 2010 Dsl - Part 2 - by Jim Nielsen. Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
