It's enough to freeze the short unheated runs first: the pipe feeding an outdoor tap, a line crossing a cold crawlspace, anything in an uninsulated garage. The main house plumbing usually rides it out. The trouble is that the small frozen section splits without warning and only leaks once things warm up.

In most municipalities here the property owner is responsible for the lateral all the way to the main, including the portion under the street. That surprises people. It's worth knowing before a backup happens, because it changes who arranges the repair.

Many local water systems ask for a vacuum breaker on any hose connection, and most newer sillcocks have one built into the head. Older taps in Parker and around here often don't. Adding one is a small job and it keeps hose water from being pulled back into the house supply if pressure drops.

The usual sign is that everything looks dry outside while a stain or a musty smell shows up on the inside of the same wall, and it worsens only while the tap is running. Old plaster hides it for a long time. Once it's suspected, keeping that tap shut is the safe move.

The usual reasons are a partly closed interior valve on that branch, a clogged vacuum breaker at the head, or corrosion narrowing an old galvanized run to the wall. Age is the deciding factor in older housing. A plumber can tell which of the three it is quickly.
