What is the result of the following experiment?

We put an amount of water in a uniform electrostatic field. We get a polarisation.
Keeping the polarizing field, we cool rapidly the water until it became solid.
We turn off the polarizing field.
Do we obtain a permanently polarized piece of ice? If not, what prevents that from
happening?
