Looks like a Turing Pattern so I’m guessing there are particles or ions in the water which affect its freezing point. The pure water freezes and rejects the ions, lowering the freezing point of the nearby water creating these banded freezing patterns.

Anyone knowledgeable enough to tell me if I’m right or wrong?
