Any excess temperature (if the temperature is above approximately 0 degrees Celsius) will quickly be absorbed by the ice; this maintains the temperature at approximately zero degrees.Note what happens to the energy. When adding heat energy to water only, the water gets warmer - its temperature increases. When adding heat energy to a mix of ice with water, the energy will be used to change the state of the water, from solid to liquid. In other words, the water's potential energy will increase.
