I have done this a few time. The first time I checked pretty much every hour(?) at work. I think the only went over 4 oC around 2 or 3pm. By that time, it's already "cook" time.
For those who are concerned, your fridge keeps around 4c.
This experiment showed half ice, half water will easily get you 8 hours under 4c, and 13-14 hours if you wrap in a towel.

ANOVA also had a ice bath feature in the wifi unit that will kick in and start the cook automatically once the temp reaches higher than 4.4c
