You probably let it chill too long.
Remember when you posted that moving water creates heat?
That is when I looked it up using google. The linked chart below shows a period when water (distilled) moves from liquid to solid, but not instantly. It has to lose that latent heat that you described as a type of movement.

I knew that adding salt lowered the freezing point - why we sell salt in the various chemical compositions. But doubted that would be the answer in a stream.
