If I were a science writer…

I don’t know about hell (yet), but Albuquerque, and all of New Mexico, froze over (why “over”?) last night. And with it, the bird bath in this photo.

Notice the the peak of ice near the peak of the brick. It almost looks like the water bubbled up just as it froze. I can’t believe the proximity of these peaks is coincidental. Did the brick conduct cold deeper into the water? Did it merely provide a surface to climb? (Though the ice peak is not exactly next to the brick.)

If I were a science writer and didn’t know the answer, I’d know someone who does. mjh
