Well water? If so, then by "expansion tank", do you mean "pressure tank"?

Maine, you should know more tomorrow. I had a very small patch of frozen pipe no more than 3-4" between the main home and an addition. I heated the house to 72 degrees and it took 15 hours for that section to thaw. Please close your main tonight before going to bed. You could have a burst pipe that won't leak until the thaw.
