The ice flow can move the mooring ball and could even snap your anchor chain.
If you don't want to pull the mooring anchor you might run a cable on the lake bed from the anchor chain where it attaches to your mooring ball and run it to a tree or something on the shore then remove the float.
That might be a way to protect your mooring now and it would be dryer for you when you want to reattach the mooring ball in the spring.
