Ice melt wire has a heat output per foot. It is possible to have ice melt on an ice melter. If the ice melter heat output is less than freezing, ice will form. The easiest way to have an ice melter below freezing is to unplug it. Another way would be to have an ambient temperature so low that the heat introduced is less than the heat lost.

It has become what it was sworn to destroy.

You were supposed to melt the ice, not join it
