"We show that, because the water directly above the plume created by the salty springs does not convect when it is cooled down to 4 °C, freezing of the region directly above the salty springs was possible during periods when the climate in the region was somewhat cooler than it is today." "We refer to this localized freezing situation as 'springs ice'." From the article I gathered it was the chemistry and location of the water rather than the temperature that caused the freezing, and that ice in the lake was not a common occurence.
