Interesting link there, kklein! I'm surprised more
posters
have not paid more attention to the phenomena of
supercooling!
That is more interesting to me. I have seen this _many_
times in
my sauna, a separate building out back, in the water
pails. The
temp can go down into the upper twenties and the water
in the
pails is not frozen but all it takes is the slightest
movement and the
water crystallizes completely to the bottom!

Phil;

I do not see the original post or the link...
Please repost the link and / or the text of that post...
I am very interested and curious...
Thanks,
JHbs

Here's that link again:
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...hot_water.html

scroll to the end of it and there is a section on
supercooling.
I wonder how many people have actually seen this happen!
