Saint, did you see the picture of Derwentwater taken on Xmas Eve 2010? Cant remember where I saw it, but it looked more like Siberia than the Lakes!
Derwentwater is pretty shallow, especially compared to Windermere.
December 2010 was reckoned to be the coldest month in the Lake District since Feb 1895, colder even than Feb 1947
