Hi Chris,

By coincidence, I just had to re-adjust the antenna for exactly that reason:

The conductivity of water is better, but the 'tangens delta' (loss factor) of water as dielectric is much worse than that of ice. So the water "robs" energy in presence of an E-field, which the ice does not. Thus the losses around the antenna go up. Depends a lot of the greenery around the antenna.

Cheers,
  Wolf DL4YHF .

Hi all
How can one explain that ant current rises when soil is frozen?

Conductivity of water should be much higher than that of ice.

So earth resistance would be higher and the current should drop when soil is 
frozen...
