Hammo 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). |
