It sounds to me like your thermosdate is not opening and it should be replaced.

Flashing check engine light subaru forester

If there is a lot of ice then I would think that the coolant was iced up and the engine overheated as stated . The engine light is there to let you know that something drastic is about to happen to the engine and you should stop immediately , check the oil level and coolant level before driving any distance.

I stopped for fuel yesterday and minutes after driving I could smell oil/gas? I stopped and put oil in sae5-30 and minutes later I could still smell oil??? Today I drove to work (20 miles) and didn't smell...

If you had to add oil, more then likely there an oil leak could be a gasket or oil seal, where ever the leak is at it's falling on the exhaust manifold and burning the oil, that's what you smell. Have it check cause low oil will damage you engine.
