Rather than the cold flowing down to your hand, its heat flowing up to the ice. The ice wants to change states(solid to liquid). It pulls the heat from the metal, which is pulling it from your hand. Everything wants to reach an equilibrium, this is why there is wind, ocean currents, etc. Heat is no different.

If you stick a metal rod in snowbank. the end in your hand soon becomes cold. Does cold flow the snow to your hand?

No, cold does not flow from the snow to your hand. When you touch the metal rod, heat from your hand is transferred to the metal, which conducts heat away from your hand into the colder snow. Your hand begins to feel cold as it loses heat.

Why does a metal bench feel cold on a cold day?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, so on a cold day, the metal bench quickly loses heat to the environment, making it feel cold to the touch. Your body also conducts heat to the metal, causing it to feel cold as it draws heat away from your body.
