You should crawl up under the backhoe and check the quick connects to the backhoe to see if one came loose. If the machine has a extenda hoe make sure it's lever is centered and not hyd stalling the system. Slip the main pump forward from the coupling and try to turn the crank. Check the power steering fluid in the pump and slide it back from the cam gear and try to turn the crank. Check the shuttle oil level, dipstick next two the starter. possible charge pump locked up in the shuttle. Remove the drive shaft and try to turn the yoke on the end of the shuttle, can you turn it. Remove your injectors and try to turn it, if water comes out the injector holes possible head gasket/ pin hole in a liner. These are just some of the checks you can make, but it may be a crank/ rod/ cam issue/ shuttle/converter.

Of course I can be totally wrong, but I wager -30 C (-22 F) likely has something to do with this.

Agreed... Ice is somewhere it shouldn't be.
