Is there a way to keep an above ground pool of water liquid in the winter? I want to make a sort of thermal pool. I don't want it to be steaming, just liquid in winter. I was thinking that a glass window seperating a conduit of magma and the water would do it but I am afraid I don't understand heat transfer in this game at all (if there even is any).

Magma running beneath a frozen pond will melt the ice. It's what makes the old degrinchinator work.

A while ago, I dug a tiny reservoir to irrigate my farm, and noticed that it did not freeze over while the rest of the water on the map froze...

Is the reservior underground? Any water tile exposed to the sunlight will freeze, even if covered over later, as long as it is in the appropriate biome. "Inside" tiles full of water will not freeze over over even in artic conditions.
