I have the same issue in Toledo, Ohio. They shut down the updates a few years ago on New Year's Day, their website said they were discontinuing service, but they reversed course and turned it back on. I'm wondering if 9/1/22 was the new date to cut off service.
that is the opening temperature for the thermostat
it opens at 160 degrees which is good for hot weather operation or another with 180 degrees which is good for cold weather operations
The differences is 160 opens sooner to start coolant circulation to keep operating temperature low where the 180 keeps shut and allows the operating temperature to rise up as soon as it open the cold air will quickly cool the coolant.
if it is cranking it is turning over
run the fault codes and check for a problem atmospheric temp sensor or problem BARO sensor both of which control the cold start fuel settings in the ECM
I doubt it "froze up" but it could be dragging from excessive wear. Engines and electrical systems require alot more power to crank in cold weather. Twice as much at zero degrees as needed at 32 degrees.
5W- 30 is the lowest you can go in winter time. I would use a high mileage formula since we're talking about a 1990 honda. It will help condition the seals in the motor from making any oil leaks worse.
before you try to start her again in hot weather, open your fuel filler cap, listen for any pressure release, close the cap, and try to start, if this works,then its just heat expansion in the fuel tank, replace the filler cap if this is the case
