2 - stalling/procrastinating something for a long period of time.

3 - creating a large problem/challenge.

4 - literally completely covering something or someone in ice.

2 - "I completely forgot about my proposal that’s due tomorrow for this genetic experiment! I've just been icing up the whole rat to finish it up!”

3 - "I really iced up the whole rat when tripped over this ancient relic in my friend’s attic, I hope she doesn’t notice… I’m sure it will all work out though!”

4 - “Did you hear what happened to Paul last week? He left his window open during that ice storm and really iced up that whole rat!”
