Did that as well. Looks like ice is messing up my dwarvens haulers, maybe they think it's some kind of possessed water.
See if you can get a couple dwarves harvesting any shrubs on the map with d->p and set your woodworker to make barrels on repeat for brewing. Brewing doesn't need water, and once the ice forms in autumn, there's nothing you can do to stop it. I recently lost 2 forts to forgetting to prepare for the big freeze. Next time, you should assign a herbalist from your starting seven and start foraging right from day one until you can get some wild strawberries or set up an underground farm.
Another option is to start digging straight down as fast as you can in the hopes of hitting the first cavern or an aquifer, as those never freeze.
Stupid me, I forgot brewing didn't need water. Thanks you and to the herbalist I brought, our stockpiles is now full of Longland beer! You saved the fortress, thanks mate

Fourth fortress, first year, I'm running out of alcool and the nearby brook is frozen. I attempted to channel the water to an artificial lake during the autumn but I couldn't get it to be digged in time. As I remembered from one of my previous experimentation, ice melts when they are brought inside fortresses(though I couldn't tell you I'm 100% sure about that). So now, I told my dwarves to go ahead and mine the ice to get ice chunks. And now, it seems I can't find a way to tell my dwarves to pick those cubes up and move them. I tried to dump them using a designated garbage dump zone(the only currently on the map) as well as using a pond zone.
I searched throught the forum and alas, couldn't find an answer so, could any of you guys help me?
