Water ice is currently stable from sublimation loss in shadowed environments near the lunar poles. However, most current temperature environments are generally too cold to allow efficient diffusive migration into the subsurface by that would protect water from non-sublimation loss. This has not always the case. Higher past lunar obliquities caused currently shadowed polar regions to have warmer thermal environments. These past environments may have been both cold enough to be able to capture surface ice, but warm enough to drive it into the subsurface.
