A Frozen Metropolis

+0
−0

Scientists have discovered an Earth-like planet in another solar system, with the same gravity, atmosphere composition, etc, and they decide to colonize it. There is only one problem, though. It is beyond the Goldilocks zone. Not so far as to make it completely uninhabitable, but enough to freeze the whole surface. There is an underground lake deep under the surface, so water would not be a problem. Would it be possible to sustain towns, and even cities, when the only season is winter? Could it even be remotely plausible?
