Who needs 4WD?
When the ice is as cragged and rock solid as it is right now with temps below freezing every day, you don't need 4 wheels of traction to drive on it. You just need enough ground clearance to make sure you don't damage the bottom of your car when one set of wheels leaves a high point and puts it under your undercarriage instead.
As long as your car doesn't melt into the snow pile and end up in a rut before you get back and as long as you're not going to scrape the bottom of your car on it getting in and out, you should be fine.

I drove by that spot not five minutes before the guy parked there. We walked past it on the way to the Flower Show, glad we passed it by. Our sedan would not have been happy parked that way.
