In Florida, that line is along Jacksonville - Tallahassee - Pensacola, but I can personally attest that MANY winters in Gainesville have resulted in pipes being burst by freezing temperatures - that was one thing which really helped out my construction business ... all the damage resulting from burst pipes during those hard freezes.
And also one reason I moved to South Florida.
