I know years back when I kept beer in my car and the temp went below
freezing you would need be open and drink the beer real careful, if not it
would turn to slush. You needed to open real slow and just do light sips. If
you just opened and chugged the beer it would turn to a beer slush, and beer
slush is not all the good.

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!
