Angry overheated

truck overheated on my way to work today left me standing on the side of the road in -50*weather with the wind chill.I got about 5 minuets from home and every thing started to act up,bogging,sputtering,and then a bunch of steam from under the drivers side of the hood,popped the hood noticed my overflow lid had popped of and fluid draining on the ground,it was to dark to see what exactly went wrong but going to tow to the shop where I work and do the thermostat, it took a while to warm up the day beafore this problem but I was hopeing it would last till the weekend,and to top it off I got a flat tire at the same time,but anyway can anyone think of any other problems I should be looking for while under the hood.

Pull the dipstick and look for water in the oil.

Check all the radiator hoses for holes.
