There are a few golden rules for safe refreezing:

This refreezing of root systems can be devastating.

If left outdoors, freezing, thawing and refreezing of soil in the pots would cause them to crack.

Still, he reflected, it was better than winter ice in the States, where intermittent warming and refreezing turned the surface slick as glass.

This melting and refreezing builds up a layer of ice that contributes to the strength of the igloo.

Regelation Regelation, the melting of ice under pressure and its refreezing when the pressure is relieved.

They said that the melting and refreezing of water over time had created cracks in Triton's frozen surface out of which mushy ice oozed from the interior.

The melting and refreezing of water in the snow strengthens the snowpack during the freezing phase and weakens it during the thawing phase.

The ice pattern is caused by repeated cycles of freezing, fracturing, and refreezing of the ice due to variations in temperature and wind-induced ice motion.

Travel over much of Britain was badly affected by ice and snow on roads, and was made more slippery by partial daytime thaw followed by overnight refreezing.

"Hey there, you dancing fool," somebody said, and she turned to find Bobby skidding dangerously across a thick layer of slush that was rapidly refreezing with each dropping degree of temperature.

The varying pull of Neptunian gravity caused tidal forces that could have alternatively warmed and cooled the moon, creating melting and refreezing of the surface materials, presumably water, methane and possibly nitrogen.

Most notably the Well: a hundred-kilometer-wide depression ringed by sharp-toothed mountains, where the fall of snow and the melting and refreezing of ice made the terrain anew every 460-hour cycle of day and night.

Ideal spring snow conditions are found when the melt layer does not exceed 2cm and the diurnal cycle of melting and refreezing creates a smooth frozen surface, that does not become overly wet in the sun.

This was because recent snow, and temperatures oscillating above and below 0 C (with associated melting and refreezing of the snow cover) left the streets and pavements of Brighton slippery and unsuitable for the processions and anticipated crowds.

When ice surrounds a fine soil particle as it premelts, the soil particle will be displaced downward towards the warm direction within the thermal gradient due to melting and refreezing of the thin film of water that surrounds the particle.

It was no use trying to refreeze food that had thawed.

Take out of the freezer, stir well and refreeze until solid.

Do not refreeze foods once they have been completely thawed.

He could see where the ice had been broken and had yet to refreeze.

If we stop global warming, will the polar caps refreeze?

A great puddle was slowly refreezing on the hill beyond the towers, but nothing else had changed.

Do not try to refreeze it once it has thawed.

By the time we reached the spot and were arguing over whether or not we could do anything the water had already started to refreeze.

Yeah, the ground had a roiled look, but wouldn't melting and refreezing frost do that?

If the temperature at ground level is below freezing, then the water may refreeze in the air, and we get sleet.

Officials said the frigid weather would refreeze slush and water on roads.

Immediately refreeze the mixture and freeze until firm.

If the appliance thermometer reads 40 F or below, the food is safe to refreeze.

Snow is a fairly good insulator, so the pile on top of this water keeps it from refreezing.

Very few vendors know that it's unhealthy to refreeze once unfrozen meat and vegetables.

The snow around the lake was beginning to refreeze, turning soft slush into hard-crusted ice.

The tall man steps back, leading the gelding up the ramp and across the chopped ground that is beginning to refreeze.

In route to the ground they refreeze thickening in the middle stratum.

The drilling had to be done within six inches of the floor or the specially treated liquid nitrogen would quickly refreeze the heads.

Wrap them in plastic, place in egg cartons, and refreeze until serving time.

Once the pressure is removed, refreezing occurs.

Can you refreeze thawed meat, they ask.

That done, I dug a small channel around the edge so that whatever did start to melt would run down the sides and refreeze there.

Deconstructive metamorphosis begins as the snow makes its way to the ground often melting, refreezing, and settling.

The pass is under constant observation, particularly in the spring, when thawing and refreezing causes danger of slides.
