Ice?

Looking to head up from Halifax to maybe Welsford or Parlee 22-23rdish... will I find enough ice to make it worth the trip?

I'd think so. I'll be taking my tools for a walk otherwise.

Danger: Parlee is your best bet IMO. Photos from Welsford last weekend looked thin at best and it has been tropical since the photos were taken.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

With all of the recent rain, and now some -10 temps in Sussex, I think Parlee will be worth the while this weekend! Even though we had some really warm days, remember that the Parlee ravine is normally about 5 degrees colder than Sussex itself. Also, unlike actual waterfalls, like Welsford, most of Parlee's climbs are "weeping" sides of the ravine, and not directly under a brook / waterfall, so they don't get "blown out" like Welsford does!

I don't expect it to be fat! But should be climbable!
