I know people who use hydration systems outside their jackets- they've developed two solutions. A, get a slim line carrier and wear it under your jacket, or B, get some reusable heat packs and toss one into the carrier (wrapped in a sock).
And you've just discovered why I carry firestraws, birch bark, fat wood slivers, cat tail fuzz, untreated cotton balls, little candles, esbit tabs (powder them) AND tinderquicks. :P

"...My main problem is the tube freezing..."
I am far from a cold weather guy, but I do hang around hot weather from time to time. I always take a slurp, then blow the water in the tube back into the bladder, keeps it from getting too hot. I suspect that it might keep water in the tube from freezing too. No water, no freeze. Can't help you re the water in the bladder itself tho. Seems to me that carrying it under the jacket, and those little handwarmer gizmos, might do the trick, but that is just an uneducated guess...
