Expected Behavior

The initial temperature in Glaciers when using Crocus was intended to be just below freezing.
Furthermore, glaciers in different locations can have different temperatures. I suggest adding the ability to specify glacier temperature in namelist.

Current Behavior

The current way of calculating initial temperature is hardcoded and a mistake causes the temperature to be initialized at zero degree Celsius.
Furthermore, the current equation is adhoc, and a more physical correct equation is available.

Possible Solution

Use the correct physical equation to calculate initial glacier temperature
Add the option to set the initialize glacier temperature in namelist.
