Seems to me if the radiator were able to freeze up, you were not running
with a good concentration of anti-freeze.  Your engine and radiator
are probably very corroded as a result.  (Even if one expects no potential
for freezing weather, one should still protect the engine with anti-freeze)

Some amount of crud probably got dislodged when everything froze up and is
now plugging your radiator.  The only *real* treatment for this is an acid
bath.  Take it to a radiator shop for the acid bath, have them flush the
engine under pressure, and put in a 50/50 mix of ani-freeze and *distilled*
water.
