The phrase
"freezing point" refers to the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid.
Full definition
When the temperature outside drops low enough to cool the inner surface of the window
below freezing point, moisture indoors can turn directly to ice on contact with the glass.
In this particular case, since we are in the melt season, both the air and the ice surface are near the melting /
freezing point of water and the air is near saturation, so while the winds are strong, the effects of the storm on transferring heat and moisture and therefore causing any freezing or melting will probably be limited.
Temps can plummet to the
near freezing point for a few weeks during the depths of winter in late January and February.
When you return, if the coin is embedded under the ice, it's a good indication that power was out for long enough for the freezer to rise above
freezing point for long enough for some things to melt, but not long enough for frozen items to liquefy completely (remember that any amount of ice in milk means it's technically still frozen).
Key factor: Roma would probably have preferred not to travel to eastern Ukraine, where temperatures may dip below
freezing point in February.
Today, he said, summer temperatures approach or just
exceed freezing point around Antarctica: «It would not take much warming to see a pretty dramatic increase [in surface melting] and it would happen very quickly.»

about freezing point last night here in the silly Midwest) such a long cold and dreary drag that even New York is ready for some spring color.
Working with the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), scientists at the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota turned these plant oils into fuel that had a similar density, energy content and
even freezing point.
However, to lower water's
freezing point all the way down to -70 °C with perchlorates, the necesssary concentration of perchlorate salts would give a water activity of just 0.5.
Though these places are extremely cold, and water can not exist as a liquid, other chemicals with lower
freezing points step in to become the «lubricants.»
Frosty weather gets outclassed with wonderful comfort in the SKECHERS Keepsakes -
Freezing Point boot.
Remember that even if you are travelling to a city that has very cold winters, some days will be frigid, others
merely freezing point or even above.
• Finally, a practical investigation to work out the molar mass of an unknown solute by
using freezing point depression will be outlined with an example calculation.
Without the increased water movement due to the storm, there would be a tendency for the meltwater to stay at the surface due to its relatively low density, which would prevent saltier water (with its
depressed freezing point) from coming in contact with the ice.
In the ocean the effect of the polynya is the massive production of salty,
freezing point shelf water that is the prime ingredient in the formation of the globally important Antarctic Bottom Water and associated ventilation of the world ocean.

frozen points of motion with an implied short narrative that refers to the before and after.

lower freezing point than water so it might take a while longer.

reach freezing point — in the middle of winter.
It is nice and warm, but I still added a little layer underneath as the temperatures were
around freezing point.
Glasses are «solids» produced by cooling a molten liquid fast enough that crystallization does not occur at the
normal freezing point.
In our case we actually load the propellants close to
their freezing point, and that can result in a density improvement of up to around 10 % to 12 %, which makes an enormous difference in the actual results of the rocket.
Born hours before a snowstorm and brought home when the temperature was still dropping below
the freezing point many days during the week, our infant daughter has already gotten a cold.
If the surrounding temperature should happen to rise above
the freezing point, the probability of water becoming ice, or remaining as ice, is zero.
Salt lowers
the freezing point of the ice and creates an extra-cold brine that absorbs heat from the milk mixture, causing the mixture to freeze.
I should note that sugar affects not only the sweetness of ice cream, but also its texture and
freezing point.

the freezing point.
