It also means pancake and cold, make of that what you will
edit: post dictionary lookup, 冰 (bing) is cold as in ice cold or ice itself.
there are a lot of other meanings too: military, merge, third, bright - all depend on intonation of bing

The tones have always been hard for me, my favorite is the words for buy and sell. Same word different tones. I wouldn't do well as a stock trader in China :)
