This one works a bit differently from the spell.
1 - obtain a cord of wood dumped near the barn
2 - cover with a tarp during two hellacious snowfalls.
3 - remove tarp and plow a path adequate to get a cart there. The snow is now a meter high around the pile, covered with a thick layer of ice
4 - replace tarp at night, which, due to the rule of SNAFU, blows off despite being (inadequately,m it appears) weighted by pieces of wood, just as a serious icestorm and rainstorm arrive.
5 - VOILA - the wood is encased in ice.
