It depends. If the room temperature is very cold, (about 40 F--4C)it will stay frozen for longer. The towel would be hotter, and would start to melt it and absorb most of the water. If the room is 80 F (20 C) or so, the towel may keep it longer. But, the fact that it is wet REALYY depends. the temperature of the water matters, but regular sink water would keep it melting.
