Water expands as it freezes so becomes less dense than liquid water. Ice floats to the surface leaving liquid water (for fish to swim in) below the surface ice.
Latvia has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. Winter's have become warmer but the average winter temperatures are still bjust below zero. Average summer temperatures are in the high teens with daytime temperatures in the mid twenties.
Sleet requires temperatures to be below freezing in the lower part of the atmosphere and at the surface, so yes, it occurs in the winter.
Winter: Below Zero; Summer: Anywhere from the 90 degree area to the early 100 degree area.
the climate for the Iroquois was warm summers and cold temperatures in the winter which could go below zero

The contrast is greater in the Winter. The equatorial temperature is relatively stable throughout the year ... always what I call 'hot'. Temperatures in the Arctic region ... for example on Alaska's North Slope where this writer has personal experience ... can remain below zero for long stretches during the Winter, but are equally likely to remain "shirt-sleeve" during the Summer, often even hitting the 80s and 90s.
The Iroquois had warm summers (about the 70's) but cold temperatures in the winter which could go below zero.

Temperatures are below 0, hence with negative temperatures arises higher wind pressure hence damaging the environment.
In the winter, temperatures can drop to below freezing!

Temperatures in Utah vary greatly from season to season and region to region. In the winter, temperatures in the northern part of the state reach below -10 F. Summer temperatures in the north are typically in the 90's with several days over 100. In the south, winter temperatures typically don't drop below 20, but summer temperatures over 110 can be expected. It is not unusual in some parts of Utah for the night temperature to be in the 30's and the daytime temperature to be in the 70's.
