结霜 (jié shuāng) — use 结冰 for freezing water into ice, while 结霜 refers to frost formation on surfaces.
This term is often used in both formal and informal contexts, particularly in weather discussions. Be careful with the tones; using the wrong tone can change the meaning of the words. Common collocations include '水结冰' (water freezes) and '湖面结冰' (the lake freezes).
