Yes, that's interesting. Both articles seem to be talking about tiny effects, tiny differences. I haven't found an definitive article about hot or cold water freezing, in the real world as opposed to the lab. We don't get freezing weather for a while, but when we do I plan on trying it out for myself. It is difficult for me to believe that, in the rabbitry, hot water can reach 32° F faster than cold water.Thanks for the article. I guess the phenomenon is still up for debate.

And in the rabbitry, water reaching 32° F isn't the issue. Actually freezing is the issue, which these scientists don't seem to address. Water is weird stuff.
