I left a one gallon plastic bottle of water in the freezer for about four hours. When I took it out it was still liquid, but as I poured it into a glass pitcher it instantly froze, or almost. Made me do a double take. It was coming out of the plastic bottle as liquid, but I'd say 95% of what landed in the pitcher instantly formed a semi-solid pile of slush, with a small amount of liquid water. I kept pouring and it kept stacking up like a pile of translucent snow. At first I thought it was solid ice. I stirred it with a spoon and it was very loose, almost cloudy, but it did not dissipate until maybe 20 minutes later as the pitcher sat out in room temperature. How did that happen?
