Oh my ... as indicated above, PURE water, at sea level, will freeze at:
0 degrees Celcius
32 degrees Farenheit
273 degrees Kelvin
However, many factors influence the ACTUAL temperature water freezes at.
2 of the most important are:
Altitude; if you live above sea level the lower atmospheric pressure will lower the freezing point. This effect is pretty minimal.
The major effect is impurities in the water. If water contains anything, the freezing/melting point will be lowered. This is why people in Northern climates "salt" their roads and steps. The salted water will freeze/melt at a lower temperature. Therefore, when the temperature is a few degrees (up to about 10) below freezing, if it has been salted it will remain liquid.

water tends to freeze at about -1 or -2 degres C (30 F)
this is due to to the impurities in water lowering the freezing point
Pure water at 1 atm will freeze at o degrees C (32 F)

The melting point of ice is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees
centigrade. So water begins to freeze just below this number, say
31.9 degrees Fahrenheit or -.09 degrees centigrade.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a nice day.
Thank you very much, while you're up!!

At normal atmospheric pressure, water freezes at 0 celsius (32 Farenheit), and boils at 100 celsius (212 Farenheit). In the event of increased pressure, water may not boil until it reaches higher temperatures.

Both above are the freezing temperature, called so for a reason.

water "tends" to freeze at 0 degrees C (32 degrees F)
at 1 atm.
remember, pressure and temperature are inversely proportional.
