A research paper led by a Florida State University professor raises that possibility.
CNET News.com's earlier blog reporting the publication of Doron Nof's study excited such heavy reader feedback that we decided to get the professor on the phone to ask him to elaborate in detail.

depended on surface water not mixing with warmer water below,
AND being confined to near the source (shore).
The biblical accounts all talk of high winds and waves, as well as
the boat being out in the lake (trying to get across). Hardly the
still waters of Prof. Nof's assumptions.
His "back of his mind" notions of Spring Ice explaining the
biblical accounts, is a good example of "science" tunnel vision.
There might have been Spring Ice, but reported conditions were
hardly conducive.
And what of actually walking on this Spring Ice? As a kid from
Minnesota, I can tell you that walking on ice chunks is not easy.
Unless they're many inches thick, and several times longer than
your height, they'll simply tip and dump you in. It's not like in
the movies or cartoons.
The bible was sourced from many people, places and times. None of it can be taken at face value.
And thats not even accounting the relative ignorance of the people, and their belief in superstitions.
Ask anyone who has studied the bible, and they can tell you the bible was not and is not a blow-by-blow account of what happened.
Maybe Jesus walked on water, maybe he walked on ice, maybe he did something else entirely that somehow filtered to "jesus walked on water".
