Why Did My Water Instantly Freeze?
Water instantly freezes when it is exposed to temperatures below its freezing point, which is 32°F or 0°C. This can happen when the air temperature drops suddenly or when the water is exposed to a surface that is below freezing, such as a cold metal pipe or a surface that is chilled by wind or evaporative cooling. Another possible reason could be that the water was already supercooled, which means it was cooled below its freezing point without turning into ice until it was agitated or disturbed in some way, causing the sudden freezing.
