If a glass of water is mostly ice with some water, how come the water doesn’t freeze? Is it something to do with the conduction heat transfer between the air and the glass of water? Im assuming that the water would freeze in a vacuum.

heat flows from hot to cold, so the water is heating up the ice. It takes a lot more energy transfer to convert from water to ice. Normally the freezer is providing that continuous cooling energy.
In a vacuum the water would boil away.
