It was about 28F outside. Water freezes at 32F.
I'm hoping the fountain was running for one of two reasons:
1. An engineering professor wanted to show their students how water around or just below 32F when compressed enough will turn back into water and will flow through a small tube fairly well. Then, once this pressurized water hits the atmospheric pressure, it will freeze again.
2. Some kid from L&S (maybe Physics) was really pissed that the Engineering Departments continue to receive exorbitant amounts of money "to build shit" and wanted to take out their anger on a symbol that exemplifies both the excess and the questionable operation of the College of Engineering.
