Tried it back in 2010 when I had the blue pointy after I came off in snow. Doenst matter what trick you use you're not going to pick it up without leverage. I pushed it around for quite a while trying to lift it, when lifting you lift by pivoting the edge of the wheels and when they're sliding away from you all you achieve is pushing it away. To lift on ice how you say K1ngy you'd end up sat on your back side with your back against the seat. Works every other time but not when you've got zero traction for leverage.
I eventually got mine on its wheels again by clearing a line in the snow right along the kerb edge, i lifted the bike high enough so only the rubber of the wheels remained in contact with the road and slid it across the snowy road upto the kerb (2m max) with both wheels against the kerb I had the leverage I needed and sure enough pop up it went on to its rubber.
