A lake won't start to freeze until the water from the surface to the bottom reaches 40F. It can be noted by simple observation that this happens first around the shoreline. Once the whole lake reaches 40F, the surface will continue to get colder. When the surface of the water drops to 32F, it starts freezing.

lake tahoe would freeze at a higher temperature
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a fresh lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.

Was Lake Tahoe ever completely frozen?
No, Lake Tahoe has never completely frozen over. It is to large a body of water (about 40 trillion gallons) for the core temperature to get low enough to freeze. On occasion, Emerald Bay will freeze over which is attached by a narrow, shallow opening.

Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
Dissolved salts in water contribute to a decrease of the freezing point.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature need to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
because the ocean has salt in it rather than freshwater lake Because fresh water on the surface of a lake is frozen. Under similar conditions, salt water is not frozen.
