Start to panic again:

If the overflow is dripping during these cold nights, the overflow pipe can easily freeze and block. Then the cistern will overflow in your bathroom.

This is a reason why many homes don't have an overflow pipe to outside these days, but one that internally overflows into the toilet bowl.
