Of course, it is worth mentioning that ice has a number of different crystal structures modulated by phase transitions that occur at various ranges of temperature and pressure. It's certainly possible to modify the bond angle by changes in state variables.
The fact that ice floats in water at ambient surface pressures found in nature has profound implications for the evolution of life, given the possibility of "snowball earth" events early in earth history.
