Take a glass (glass, not plastic) of water and stick it in your
freezer. Odds are that it'll shatter.

Well, normal weather is a little different. It comes on much slower and
doesn't get as cold.

"Normal" weather here does do those things, and gets much colder.

Water doesn't go through a "plastic" phase when transforming to ice
no matter how slow the process is. Or at least, not at anything
approaching ordinary pressures.
