(ice+freeze+three+units(~feet),not+one+day's(7th and 8th)+chill)

Literally: Three feet of ice not result from one day of freezing weather.
Moral: A predicament is not formed without a period of events creating it.
Compare: Rome was not built in a day (Roma non fu fatta in un giorno, Italian proverb).

A gem is not polished without friction,
nor a man perfected without trials.
