(Psst, you need another letter! It would indeed be west of the Mississippi though, east of the Mississippi start with W. Fuck I'm a nerd!)

I adore the level of non-malicious pedantry that came from your joke

If your ice is 98.7 K it would be Ice Ic with a different crystalline structure. It would probably taste like intense hot sauce turning your tongue black and causing it to fall out of your frostbitten mouth because you tried to lick Ice Ic you daft bastard.

So…technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Also, who licks ice? Ice cream, sure. Ice pops, absolutely. But just ice? Give us some wild description of what ice Ic would do in a glass when room temp water or soda was poured on it.
