Water freezes when there isn't enough heat available to separate hydrogen-hydrogen bonds between the molecules. When hydrogen bonds persist, the molecules form into a solid crystal lattice, which is ice. Although water may be cooled down to 32°F / 0° C, additional energy called the "heat of fusion" must be removed from the molecules for ice to form.
