These are ocean front homes. It's quite possible that the house in the IOD is an unheated summer residence. If so, the ice won't melt from interior heat. That's good. It's best for it to melt from the outside in and let the water run down the outside of the ice as it melts. Less damage that way.

In the seaside town of Hull, Polly Feinberg and Bob Platka said the storm made their oceanfront home feel like an igloo.
``All our windows on the north side are totally covered with salt water ice, and slush. It's totally caked on,'' Feinberg said. ``It makes the house dark, but opaque – it's pretty eerie.''
Feinberg said their wind speed indicator clocked gusts at 70 mph.
``The whole house was vibrating,'' she said.
