I'd say unless the water has been frozen, but who'd listen anyway?

Water is compressible when frozen ????

It is cold and slushy, though proper stuff, "powdery".

Would you expect anything less?

PS even ice when it gets colder changes density, you could do your own
scientific experiment with a freezer and know amount of water (then attempt
to clarify the loss of moisture I the freezer is fan forced or when the
condensation occurs between measures. That is unless you have your own sub
artic analytical weigh balance).
