to freeze water it has to be at least 0 degres celcius. if it was -10 degres celcius then the water in a lake might only freeze 2 cm. the colder it gets the thicker the ice becomes but in this contry, or any other contry, it will never become cold enough to freeze all of the lake right down to the bottom.
