but look at it in daylight. Look at the big hose off the top of the radiator, then the heater hoses on the side and back of the engine. Also the hoses from the reservoir.
If a hose is blown or has come off it's a pretty easy fix, but don't drive the car if a hose is blown. If you can't trace the leak you should either have it towed, or if you're going to drive it to the shop add coolant and stop every couple miles and top up if necessary. 10-20 minutes isn't far, but it's enough to damage a head gasket if there's no coolant in the engine, even at 0 degrees C.
