I think the ice has to actually melt for the virus to be transported, right?

Little Jon Jonsen slips on the ice playing Ice Hookie, Little Jon Jonsen's face cracks bloodily against said ice. Little Jon Jonsen feels the ice commingle with the blood in his mouth,...and.....MELT. Little Jon Jonsen swallows said blood and virus laden slice of Minnesota. And so Hell is Unleashed on Earth.
I knew there was Evil in them there 10,000 Lakes

Pace JJ, but I'm surprised. Nasty bugs, how do they do it?

Not rare, actually. Anthrax which is a big old bug can make spores that are extremely hardy. For a virus to survive is less impressive. They don't have complicated organelles and cellular shites, I guess.

"Survive" is a big word -- it implies they are "in vivo", where in fact, they are in suspended animation or something.

Spores are better than that. ANyway, viruses aren't very vivi to start with.
