"KEY POINTS:
β’ Groundwater inflow enhances winter lake ice thickness by stabilizing the water column and reducing vertical mixing
β’ Ice responses to groundwater are strongest in coastal zones due to higher flux and shallow bathymetry
β’ Including groundwater in coupled models improves understanding of ice formation and winter lake processesβ¦β
