While the day might have been 15 degrees, the water the boat was sitting in wasn't 15 degrees. How much ice was around your boat? No ice, the water probably was only slightly below freezing. Mix salt water with antifreeze and you're probably needing below 15 degree water temperature to make it freeze. If it was 60 degrees in the engine room, I don't see it freezing with 10 degree water temperature.
