Most liquids have a quite simple behavior when they are cooled (at a fixed pressure): they shrink. The liquid contracts as it is cooled; because the molecules are moving slower they are less able to overcome the attractive intermolecular forces drawing them closer to each other. Then the freezing temperature is reached, and the substance solidifies, which causes it to contract some more because crystalline solids are usually tightly packed.
Water is one of the few exceptions to this behavior. When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.

Very informative Specs. Not being sarcastic. That was interesting.

Well, it’s -4 here, with 25 mph winds. Our wind chill factor is -29. So glad I didn’t have to work today. I’m warm and cozy in my home.

Pathetic -- 6 weeks is still six weeks, isn't it?
