Because the rote memorization of "water freezes at 32F" is leaving a lot of understanding out, like atmospheric pressure, and now there are even more asterisks to add to that "fact." This all applies to our understanding of the most basic facts we learned as children.
Not surprisingly they are causing these deviations by working with levels much smaller than the molecular, to ionization with individual electrons. The smaller we look down into things, the more we realize we can change about them from a fundamental level, and the more we realize things were not at all as simple as they originally appeared to be.

It is known that water molecules actually do have some "memory" associated with them which apparently changes their shape in some way or another.
