The freezing point of water depends on its contents and the environment. Mostly pure water uses the tiniest of impurities to form the ice crystal structure, which occurs naturally at about 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celcius. However, things like air pressure and the contents of the water can change the freezing point. Water high in sugar freezes at a lower temperature, for example.

The freezing temperature of water is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. When water reaches this temperature, it changes from a liquid state to a solid state, forming ice.
Plain water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. The temperature can be varied by mixing other substances (such as antifreeze, alcohol or salt) into the water.
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
The freezing temperature of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, negative 3 degrees Fahrenheit is 35 degrees below the freezing temperature of water.
Depending on the temperature, water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing can become sleet, ice, or snow.
Pure water has a freezing temperature of 0 degrees and a boiling temperature of 100 degrees, unlike tap water which has impurities that can alter it's freezing and boiling point
The freezing point of water on the Fahrenheit scale is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
