 Water is a liquid except under very unusual circumstances.  I know there are
places like "Buffalo" and "Michigan" where water can be seen in solid form
but this is not normal and not to be encountered under conditions capable of
supporting human life.  Also it is ruins perfectly good whisky.  Beware at
all times of solid water.

You have it backwards. I lived in Minnesota for 37 years, and know that
0 C is defined as the temperature at which water temporarily goes into
its liquid state.
