You've gotten some good answers. I asked a while back why a glass filled
with ice and water added doesn't overflow when the ice melts if you don't
drink any of the water I can't for the life of me remember the answer
and am too lazy to Google for it. It just seemed a curious thing to me.

Most thing shrink when frozen. Water expands when it freezes and can exert a
lot of pressure. Thusly, when ice melts the volume decreases.
