Frostbite: The idea of a permanent 5% movement speed decrease until you snap out of it sounds a bit problematic. I don't mind movement slowdown on survivors, mind you, but still. The idea of having a harder time seeing stuff and grunts of pain when healthy are fine.
Primary Power (snow and ice ball): Seems a bit much to have a clown bottle and a hatchet in one power but I'm willing to give it some slack since the snowball has to hit the survivor.
Secondary Power (snowstorm): So a map wide gen slowdown of 20 and tier up. Not sure what turning the floor to ice means aside from speeding up frostbite for Tier 1 survivors. Ehhh? Nothing horribly bad with it but it feels weird.
Slow Down: Knee jerk reaction is that it feels like a somewhat dangerous perk to release but it could be worse since it is only five times a match.
Overworked: Seems somewhat weak, imo. You could probably get the same benefit and info with tinkerer.
Blinded Pack: Frankly the most interesting perk. An unlimited duration of undetectable as long as you have the obsession on the hook is cool. Not sure how useful it would be but in a "juggle the obsession" build with Furtive Chase or Nemesis, it could lead to some fun tomfuckery.

Ice Floor,is what it sounds like the floor becomes ice,the benefits of the ice floor is that you gain a movement speed increase & that the survivors frostbite increase overtime & i will change the 5% movement speed decrease

I like the idea of environmental killers with global effects, it opens up for more creative playstyles. Good idea!

Just something I would personally change: The ice magic should use an icicle instead of a snowball. Icicle gets bigger and more pointed with charging.
Getting pierced by it and seeing the icicle with a little splatter of blood going through the surv would make for better atmosphere than a snowball I think
The killer perks seem interesting and the survivor perks have potential with some more work put into it! But Struggler does bring that Kate perk to mind, Boil Over or something?
