they form so quickly in ice or in any other cold temperature because its so cold that when the crystals are forming its like its giving it a boost to growth. If you make handmade crystals and you feel them while they are forming you'll feel that the crystals are already cold.So that is baisicly this is why it gets so cold easily.:D

Things dissolve slower in cold water because cold water doesn't have a lot of energy. There for, if it were warm water, it would have a lot of energy, and it would dissolve faster. Think of a hurricane, it is made of warm energy that comes from the ocean.

they do dissolve, heat increases the rate of diffusion so naturally the absence of heat will reduce the rate of diffusion. in this case the rate of diffusion is so slow that it isn't really noticeable.

Any crystals grow better or bigger when they grow slower. Crystals that form in cold water are given a longer period of time and develop slower so they form bigger crystals.
