The lake typically freezes sometime around New Years, plus or minus a week or so. Seems to be on a normal track this year too.
Yes, but if I recall, the lake water "flips over" in the process. The colder water underneath comes to the surface.

Up in Maine at the farm, the critters' water buckets have been "break the ice with a hammer" frozen each morning
