Frozen Washer Fluid
I wanted to wash all the windows on the car today . They are quite dirty
and its only 8 degrees out. My bucket of washer fluid in the garage is
frozen, so is the sponge side of the squegee. Funny how the gallon jug
on a shelf & the bottle of washer fluid under the hood isn't frozen.
Oh well, I'll bring the bucket in - must be from the air.

Doesn't windshield washer fluid have alcohol or something similar? And
doesn't that family have a low freezing point but it'll evaporate pretty
easily? That's all I can think of.

Re: Frozen Washer Fluid
That's true, the alcohol does lower the freezing point.
The alcohol evaporated and the remaining blue water froze.
Better saran wrap the bucket next time HF!

Forgot where I heard this, but something about pure water wont freeze until
there is a speck of dirt or something in it for ice crystals to start
forming around.
Also pure water wont conduct electricity.

Oops, that's right, it wasn't invented yet.

No, but trying to boil water in a smooth container can be dangerous, that's
why Chem. teachers give students "boiling chips".
yup. You need an aqueous ionic solution, and pure water is not one.
