But that water will accelerate the melting of the ice.
The amount of heat required to melt 2 kg of ice (~4.4 pounds) is 668 kilojoules (that's taking ice at 32º and melting it to water at 32º
If you had the same amount of water (2 kg) at 32ºF it would only take 186 kilojoules to warm that water up to 72ºF.
You really want max ice and minimum water.
