my American friend BooBoo gave me the following statement:

The normal surface tension of a body of water is far too weak to keep it cohesive. What you end up with is a large cloud of tiny ice crystals. Another way to look at it is that the water freezes, but does it so quickly that it literally shatters into millions of particles.
