Low temps, intermittent power High Pressure , No backwash

My sand filter is usually 15 to 20 psi. Temps dropped to record lows (single digits) and rolling blackouts have us on power for an hour, power off an hour. I had pump running continuously since the start. My pressure gauge is now pegged...shut off pump goes back to zero...turn on pump goes all the way around to zero. I tried to backwash but nothing happens. This was over the first night. I didnt think water could freeze that fast but I'm thinking maybe water froze in part of the system...
