Riddle

Over time, in a dark place I'm formed
I prevent my surroundings from being warmed
Once deposited, if long enough you wait
I remain, but in an altered state
With my kind, you fill a plastic chest
Chilling during a summer picnic rest
One more thing I'd like to mention
My name suggests a third dimension
