During really cold weather, the ground temperature drops causing the ground to freeze and contract. This contraction combined with the pressure in the water main can lead to movement of ground around the main causing stress fractures, or small cracks, to occur allowing the water to escape.
Water pipes burst because the water inside them expands as it gets close to freezing, and this causes an increase in pressure inside the pipe. When the pressure gets too high for the pipe to contain, it ruptures. This expansion phenomenon seems natural, but interestingly, it is a chemical anomaly.
