We introduce the spatial correlation function $C_Q(r)$ and temporal autocorrelation function $C_Q(t)$ of the local tetrahedral order parameter $Q\equiv Q(r,t)$. Using computer simulations of the TIP5P model of water, we investigate $C_Q(r)$ in a broad region of the phase diagram. First we show that $C_Q(r)$ displays anticorrelation at $r\approx 0.32$nm at high temperatures $T>T_W\approx 250$ K, which changes to positive correlation below the Widom line $T_W$. Further we find that at low temperatures $C_Q(t)$ exhibits a two-step temporal decay similar to the self intermediate scattering function, and that the corresponding correlation time $\tau_Q$ displays a dynamic crossover from non-Arrhenius behavior for $T>T_W$ to Arrhenius behavior for $T
