Super cool(ed)

So essentially this one's going to be a minor break in the extreme physics write up and be more about one of my little musings that I have during chemistry.

Now I'm not entirely sure whether this comes under Chem or Phys but hey here we go:
As I'm in GCSE science, we were today covering covalent bonding, how truly fascinating.

And as most of our chemistry and physics lessons seem to do we went a little off topic and started talking about the conductivity of H2O (water), we were discussing why it was that water does not conduct electricity, fairly simple to be honest. However I then went into my mind palace... Yes; and remembered a lecture I attended this year on super-cooling. This process makes most elements and substances more conductive so I was wondering whether it would be possible to super cool water as we do with liquid nitrogen and the like. Anyway if anybody happens to know the answer to my perplexion or give me any info about it that would be great.
