South Central Iowa | You guys can have the argument. Water can freeze with ambient temperatures above 32 degrees.
I turned it quickly into, the water freezes at 32. That is still a fact, at least until we get up to higher pressure.
Water is a strange substance; it bends many rules. It is more dense as a liquid, boiling water freezes faster than cold water, it is a near universal solvent, etc...
Reminds me of another story. Back in school, I drove to class one cold morning in the fall. I don't know the temperature, but it was below freezing and it was among the first really cold days. I had a bottle of Lipton's unsweetened tea in the car that had bought the prior day and left in the car. I grabbed that bottle as I got out, looked at it and it was all liquid, and made my way to the door of the building. When I entered the doors I popped the lid and I slung my bookbag off my shoulder onto a bench. I went to take a drink of the tea and nothing came out. I looked at the bottle and could actually see the rest of the tea crystalizing! Once is was not longer under pressure, it allowed it to freeze. I couldn't believe it! LOL
Edit: It was a glass bottle btw.
