IIUC, when water (or anything else) freezes, it emits heat, quite a bit
of heat, and that slows the freezing of the adjacent water. Right?


What exactly constitutes adjacent water? If it's container of water
put into a freezer it's all cooling down together, some areas will cool
faster than others and freeze first.


But the water that is adjacent to the water that does freeze first
will get the latent heat of freezing if the water isnt well stirred.
