Altitude also becomes a factor in ice formation. Here in Utah we have lakes that are at over 10,000 feet elevation. I don't really know when they freeze, but I've been there in July and it snowed 4" on us. Lower lakes freeze safe (4") usually by mid January. We hit the low 90's today so ice in January seems like a loooong time from now.
