Ciao poet , you now have three votes.
I love the scene and vibe you have created in this poem .
I can imagine those wolves breaking the night's silence with their haunting howls .. which both chills ( cause they are predators) but also fascinates.
It saddens me that these beautiful creatures were hunted nearly to extinction by the pioneers that settled in the USA.
Wiping them nearly out caused massive damage to the ecosystem because they are apex hunters and they kept the deer population in check ..
the deer overpopulation damaged the vegetation
and without adequate vegetation river backs erode .. and so one.
Like always Man is good at destroying.
I found your notes interesting too :
Snow Moon is a new expression and I love it.
Idem ice-clad is far more expressive than the usual: ice covered.
I was reading recently that howling in chorus strengthens the bond between the members of the pack.

This 5-7-5, In the Still of the Night, has the right set up and notes the activity and lonely howl that one will experience and hear in a scene as described.

Thanks Bill for agreeing with my imagery. Those howling haunting sounds are most scary at Halloween time.
