Getting the snow off the top with a shovel, sure. Extracting the fiber and splice case from a 2x3x2ft block of solid ice without damaging them... You'll need a big, heated Hydrovac. Some vaults are located higher up and dry, but chances are that anything that fails due to cold would be the ice-vaults.
