I consider bottles to be up to two or three litres and jugs being a gallon or more. I just do not have the room, but when I have my own place, I want a chest freezer!
In the Phoenix area, our small and man-made lakes do not freeze, although I have a picture of a giant frozen puddle on the sidewalk at Arizona State.
