Yes, during an ice age the Earth cools and snow precipitating on the land surface does not melt in summer resulting in a gradual accumulation of ice. As this ice builds up in thickness it begins to flow down slope as glaciers. As the accumulation of ice continues the glaciers join up to form an Ice sheet (a giant glacier) which slowly moves to areas of lower latitude.
