I’m having trouble believing that. Wouldn’t the ice be 10 feet thick if this was true? Colder temps is irrelevant to ice growth?
Maybe this an average rule for a specific area, and maybe 0 is Fahrenheit (-17°c)? 1 inch in 24 hours seems like a heck of a lot regardless of the rest of that, and certainly not for -1°C.
