No, but every time I have experienced a pipe freezing, which has been a few, there was a cold wind blowing against the pipe or the building wall where the pipe penetration was not properly sealed to prevent air from seeping into the wall.

Also, convective heat transfer works faster than inductive heat transfer. It is the concept behind convection ovens.
