It doesn't appear that ice was a factor:

The pilot is claiming that something broke:

A radio report I heard said that the pilot said that he couldn't pull the
yoke back, at which point he discontinued the takeoff.


Probably all that frost on the elevator made it too heavy to lift up for
rotation. :-)

It does sound like something failed that blocked or froze the control
column. Sounds unlikely, but this was an experienced captain (one
source said 15,000 hours) so I trust he knew that the stick wasn't
moving enough for takeoff.
