Well, Martin did write a children's story that involves ice dragons, but I don't know much about it since I haven't read it. It's not set in Westeros, but there may be an overlap of ideas.
To be honest though, I think it may be too late to introduce an ice dragon. If anything, Jon is the ice dragon. From some of the visions/dreams that we see (in Dunk and Egg stories), dragons usually represent a Targaryen, and not a literal dragons.
I have seen some pretty crazy theories about an ice dragon hiding underneath Winterfell or in the Wall though

Strangely enough, I just read The Ice Dragon last night and this morning. (Warning: Spoilers for that story ahead. if you plan to read it, might want to skip this post)
IIRC, an ice dragon is "half again" as big as a regular fire breathing dragon. (ie: 1.5 times the size). It blasts cold and ice instead of heat. The one in the story defeated 3 fire breathing dragons. Unfortunately, it was fighting 3 and the last one got it.
Also, the more frequently and longer the ice dragon hung around, the longer winter would last. (it was not explicitly stated but seemed like the winters were the regular one a year variety in that story but were getting longer).
No sure if Martin would use that exact type of dragon here though. It was pretty much actually made out of ice melted into a pool after it died. so I think they'd have to adjust that to make it a little more realistic if they decide to us them in SOI&F.
