at 32F, it turns to ice. thats it. 3 stages. gas, liquid, solid.

That is what I was gonna say. There is one parked around the corner from me and it looks exactly the same. We had snow a week ago and all the cars had mounds of snow on one side two feet high and the other there was next to nothing. We've been having some crazy weather here.

Wow, that's not how it works.
Ice definitely can get colder than 32F.
The whole covering the oranges with ice thing is done to protect the oranges from the chilling wind. As more wind makes contact to the oranges heat transfer takes place at a faster rate. So covering the oranges in ice helps insulate them (keep the heat of the orange within the orange), and even that will only last so long.
Ice can definitely go lower than 32F. Think about it, coldness or coolness isn't really a quantity that we deal with, it's rather varying levels of heat, or the complete lack of heat (absolute zero). Everything above absolute zero basically has heat in it.
If ice couldn't go lower than 32F, then we would have a magical substance that retains heat no matter what.

Yeah I knew I wasn't losing my mind. Just think about it. You got water, it turns into ice at 32F, but the ambient temperature keeps dropping. That ice is gonna get colder too, just like anything else.

I think you mean water can not be colder the 32 degrees, its then ice. If ice can not be lower then 32 degrees do you know what kind of fog there would be after it snowed on a sub zero day???? All that warm ICE causing that fog against the cool winter air..... People in the north east wouldnt see a damn thing all winter....LOL

Ooo and water can be colder than 32 degrees. Just keep it moving. If it doesn't sit still (to a point), ice can't form. Or just add salt. I've had water down to below 32 (below 0 celcius) in the chemistry lab. I may have failed that class but I did good in lab. It was fun.

High school chemistry, we did the same thing. By adding alot of rock salt to ice water and agitating it with a glass rod, we were able to get the water temperature down to to 3-1/2 degrees F. Ice stays at the same temp, just like boiling water, once it reaches that 212.5 degree mark, it boils... you can add all the heat you want, and boil it with a plasma cutter for all I care, but it still won't get any hotter. ANd the same goes to ice-- within reason. Blasting a bowl of watter with liquid nitrogen will create a chemical type freezing point.. and make the ice (even its core) much colder, in the negative 100's F.

well saltwater is completely different than fresh water, which is why it freezes at a lower temp then fresh water. something about it ionno i never paid attention in chemistry last year, i'm a bio person myself. but to say that ice can not be colder then 32 degrees just doesn't sound right, it's as if someone said that your temp always has to be 98.6...which obviously isn't the case.
