Skunked... I am not an engineer, Im a a General Contractor and have worked in the outdoors many years and seen the effects freezing has on materials, especially water and soil. The expansion you mentioned does make for some interesting thought. I have to wonder if it does have an effect on the water. Maybe, maybe not. Add to that the support of the water underneath. I know that when you get a little frost in the ground, it is unreal how difficult it is to get through it with a cat and a ripper or a backhoe. Frozen materials are extremely strong and makes for some strong bonding.
We place planks and ladders on drywall ceilings all the time to spread out the weight so we can work in the space above clgs. Without them, we'd come crashing through to the floor below. Same principle you used to get across the thin ice areas when duck hunting.
Fun police??? Good one. Is that like the Jello sheriff?
