Well, its definitely not a state of equilibrium unless its at the south pole or something. Depending on the temperature of the water the temperature of the air surrounding or above the water, and the temperature of the ice, it may be all water in very short order.
So the question leans toward describing energy. Heat in this case. So if that's the intent, its a system of heat being absorbed by the ice and removed from the water and the air above the ice.

What type of mixture is ice cream before it's cooled?
Ice cream, like milk, is a colloidal mixture. It has tiny droplets of fat floating in water.
Why ice is not a mixture?
If ice is made of pure water, then it is a pure substance with a definite composition, H2O, and not a mixture.
When ice is melting what is the temperature of ice-water mixture?
32 degrees
What type of mixture is chocolate chip ice cream?
Heterogeneous mixture: not even throughout
Is ice element compound mixture?
Ice is a solid form of water. It is a compound.
Is water and ice a homogenous?
No. Water and ice do not make a homogeneous mixture.
Where do you place a thermometer to check the 0 degrees mark?
Crushed ice, with added water so it's a slushy type mixture.
Are ice cubes in liquid water a heterogeneous mixture?
A glass of ice water is a heterogeneous mixture, not a homogeneous one. This is because ice and water are two different phases, despite being the same substance.
Is ice a mixture or a pure substance?
Ice is solid H2O so it is a pure substance, at least ideally.
Is sleet a mixture?
Yes because it is a mixture of water and ice or water and snow.
Why salted ice stays longer?
Salted ice does not stay longer. Salted ice melts sooner than ice alone because the mixture of salt and water lowers the freezing point of water. So the salt-ice mixture will melt at temperatures where pure ice would freeze. The only way that a salt-ice mixture would stay longer is if the temperature is so low that it has reached the freezing point of the salt-ice mixture.
Can solid and a liquid form a mixture?
Water and crushed ice form a freezing point mixture.
