Ir's not so much the cold as the water that causes freezing like that. Actually, it can't be too cold or the lake would have frozen over, and no water would fly to ground to build the ice up like that. Probably the temperature is only just below freezing, and this is somewhere at the beginning of the winter season since the lake is still open. Must've been quite some wind though.
