I have 3x8, usually 2x4 is where I ride, but yesterday on the way home I couldn't shift out of 2 at all, and on the back end, I could move maybe from x4 down to x2, but if I went to x1 or tried to go to x5-8, the controls would advance the red flag on my shimano shifter to the right number, but I would feel a lot of excessive tension, and never actually get a "click", which was new and alarming. In the basement at home, I could move through all rear gears, but the front didn't want to reach the 1 or 3 extents, so the chain could be heard rubbing against the guide. I'd brushed off all snow from all the chain, toothed components, shifters, exposed cabling, etc.
If I'm understanding you correctly, I'd put money on it being on the spring inside the derailleur having ice built up on it
