You won't run into a whole lot of Ice-weak creatures outside of Mt. Gulg, but Ice2 is still a great damage Spell simply because it deals 1/3 more damage than Fire2 and Bolt2. As long as you save at least one level 4 slot to cast Haste during the boss fight, there's not much better to do with your Spells than pound foes with Ice2. Be aware that all Undead and most enemies in the Ice Cavern resist Ice, but then, those are all solid Fire2 targets anyway.
Ice3 is the ultimate elemental attack Spell for your Red Wizard, though Flare puts it to shame. There aren't a ton of targets weak to Ice late in the game, but Ice3 deals enough damage to make it worthwhile against groups of Monsters without extreme Magic Defense.

ICE is a powerful damage Spell, dealing twice as much damage as FIRE, but few Monsters early in the game are weak to Cold. The only noteworthy exception is the 255-Absorb SCUM, who are just as vulnerable to Fire. Nonetheless, ICE is a very useful Spell for your Bl.MAGE to deal some damage with. Just don't use it against Undead!

Blizzard is not as generally useful as Fire, but between the two, you can exploit a great deal of elemental weaknesses. You won't be using it in every fight, but many high-defense creatures are weak against Ice, so it pays to level Blizzard. You can find a Blizzard Tome in the Snow Cavern, but you may want to buy the Spell before then. You can use the Tome as an item to take down the Adamantoise boss quickly.

Blizzard is the generic all-target Ice attack used by a number of Monsters. It's at its most dangerous the first time you encounter it, used by Vomammoths while protecting Terra in Narshe.
