Yes ice will float in cold water or any water for the matter. For example icebergs are in fridge cold water (for the ocean can be extremely cold because of the salt and thus takes a colder temperature to freeze) and this still are afloat.
Ice will actually float in warm or hot water for a bit until it is dissolved. So yes it can float in any sort of water despite the temperature.

Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Does hail float in water?
Yes. Hail is ice. Ice floats in water.
Does ice sink of float when placed in these liquids water alcohol mercury ice?
AnswerAs water freezes,what happens to the water molecules that causes ice to float?why is the unquie? My answer is that the ice has comes more dense n is light to float up then to sink down.I am no physicist, but I think ice is less dense than liquid water. After all, water expands when frozen (unique to H2O, I think?). Ice floats in water, of course. As far as pure alcohol, my best guess is that yes, it floats in alcohol, too. I have to say that ice will float on mercury due the great difference in the densities of the two substances (mercury being much more dense than ice).
Does hail float?
Hail is just ice, so it will float in water.
Will an egg float in ice cold water?
Only an altered egg float.
Do ice float in water?
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
What is the analysis for can water float on water?
The ability for something to float on another substance is related to the density and since ice is LESS dense than water it would float on top of water, not water on top of ice.In other words, water is more dense than ice and thus no.
Why do ice cubes always float a the top of the glass of water?
Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
Does water or ice have the most density?
Water,thats why ice float on water.
Why does an ice float in water?
Because of the buoyancy of the Ice
