So I go in and get some hot water and pour it all over. Works like a charm.


Great time for Some useless knowledge , Hot water freezes faster then cold water...

Probably some exothermic reaction, being that the heat dissipates faster because It's already in the process of cooling or because the fast removal of heat causes it to cool faster (as in a heat pipe). BUT, I'm really making this crap up so I'm know I'm already wrong.

Only in specific circumstances will hot water freeze before cold water ... also depends on your definition of 'hot' and 'cold' :

It all depends on how fast the cooling occurs, and it turns out that hot water will not freeze before cold water but will freeze before lukewarm water. Water at 100 degrees C, for example, will freeze before water warmer than 60 degrees C but not before water cooler than 60 degrees C. This phenomenon is particularly evident when the surface area that cools by rapid evaporation is large compared with the amount of water involved, such as when you wash a car with hot water on a cold winter day. [For reference, look at Conceptual Physics, by Paul G. Hewitt (HarperCollins, 1993).]
And I will now add to my backpack a MAPP torch
