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.

Who has more lakes Kentucky or Minnesota?
Minnesota has about 2,560,299 acres of lake surface. Kansas has only two natural lakes and a couple of dozen man-made lakes. Kentucky has only three major natural lakes and many artificial lakes, so it has less lake surface, however, because of the 90,000 miles of streams in the state, Kentucky has more navigable miles of water than any state, other than Alaska.
Why do freshwater lakes not freeze?
Fresh water lakes do freeze, but very salty waters and moveing water, like the sea, will not freeze except in critically cold conditions. The lake you are reffering to may have moving water running inside it, making movement.

Lakes, and to a lesser degree, rivers, freeze as the ambient temperature reduces below Zero. This never happens "suddenly" and it takes time for the water to assume the surrounding temperature.

What percentage of the Earth's surface is covered by lakes and rivers?
About 3% of the earths water is freshwater, most of it in pack ice, glaciers, and aquifers. Only about one-third percent is found in rivers and lakes. The largest freshwater lake by volume is Lake Baikal in Russia.
Why are some organisms able to survive in lakes and ponds during winter?
Ice begins to freeze on the surface so the creatires don't die. When the ice freezes it locks in enough oxygen for the things to stay alive.
Why don't lakes freeze solid?
Lakes don't freeze solid because the top layer of ice acts as an insulating barrier, preventing the water below from freezing completely. This allows aquatic life to survive during the winter months.
