It takes a lot of energy to melt ice. For water to turn into ice this energy has to leave the water so if the air temperature is just below freezing it takes some time for this energy to leave the water.
Water is also unusual because it becomes less dense as it freezes. Most solids are more dense than the liquid they are formed from, this means they sink. Ice is less dense than water just above the freezing point. This means ice floats. For a lake this is significant. The ice forms on top of the water providing some insulation for the water underneath. If it snows this is even more significant because snow is quite a good insulator due to the trapped air inside it. Rather than the snow falling into the water and cooling the water as it melts it sits on top of the ice and adds an insulating layer.

How long does it take to freeze salt water 1 teaspoon of salt?
It depends on how you're trying to freeze them, of course: if you have a freezer that goes to 0 degrees F, like the one in the back room of a supermarket, it'll take as long to freeze the salt water as it would plain water. (Salt water has a lower freezing temperature than plain water but if you have a cold-enough freezer, it'll freeze.) If you pour it into liquid nitrogen, it'll freeze instantly. It also depends on the temperature of the salt water at first. Also, which type of salt, and how pure the water is. It also depends on the concentration of salt.

How long does it take for a two liter bottle of coke to freeze?
If it is placed in a standard freezer (or the freezer compartment of a fridge) it will not completely freeze; most will be solid over night. However, if the setting is low enough, it can take about the same time as water to freeze, which can be anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
