'plummet' - that's a good winter word. The BBC weather lady used it several times.

It is nice and warm in the Blue Lagoon.
-20°C here at the moment, but with a high today of -10C.

You are almost guaranteed a reg free flow at sub 2C unless you've got something fancy.
Mostly, <2C is time for alternative diving activities...

As every schoolchild knows, water freezes at 0°C. Or perhaps not. It has been known for centuries that pure water, in the absence of any nucleating surface, can remain in a supercooled liquid state down to temperatures as low as
-40°
