It is common for freshwater lakes near or above a latitude of north of the equator, like Opeongo Lake in Canada, to accumulate surface ice in winter. The amount and duration of ice depends on many factors, including local weather conditions as well as the lake's depth, volume, and surface area, but a climate researcher claims that the higher a lake's latitude, the more days per winter it will typically have measurable amounts of surface ice.
