The high specific heat for the property of water allows it to remain unfrozen. There is also a very large surface area for the finger lakes. 

Answer:

The correct answer would be the high specific heat of the water.

Specific heat refers to the amount of energy required in order to increase the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C.

Water has a high specific heat due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in water molecules.

Thus, a large amount of heat is required to be lost in order to freeze.
