frozen battery

Went to start the TF this morning, its been standing for a week on the drive. Key in, turn click,click,click.... nothing. Cleared the snow from the bonnet and Lifted to find battery top encased in solid ice! Removed ice and put battery on charge for an hour and car started. Anybody else had problems with water around the battery area.. anyone know of a battery cover or jacket that may fit over the battery for use in the colder months?
