I'm no specialist on this but -26 is rather cold. If you antifreeze mix was off a bit, maybe 60/40 water to antifreeze, it might have frozen somewhere, in the system. Possible in the heater coils, or in the radiator (or both). This could account for both the no heat and the hose blowing up (too much pressure with no where to go). So you need to replace the hose and get the car somewhere where the temperatures are warm enough to make sure everything is thaws out. After that, fill it with a good mix of antifreeze and cross your fingers and hope nothing else was damaged.
Brooks,
