I parked my car, and over the last day and a half there was a freezing rain storm, which left about two inches of ice in my area. Whats worse is my car tires seem to have frozen with it, because now where it was in the ice it is frozen, and air has deflated out of it. I need to drive home from college, should i try to thaw it out, inflate it frozen, or did i ruin the tire. Please help.

If you have good tires, it shouldn't have affected them much. If it was severely cold, it could have cracked the rubber. As soon as you can move the car, get it to a garage and put some air in the tires (cold weather will cause you to lose pressure, just as hot weather causes the air to expand and overinflate your tires). Get yourself to a tire place and have all of the tires inspected for safety.

probably nylon synthetic tires..go bump bump bump when you first start driving them when you go down the road?
just put in 40 pounds of air in them and you will get a little rougher ride but you will save on gas, have better control overt vehicle and the tire will last longer. the tire companies and car companies will tell you32 psi but that gives you a smoother ride ..also they can sell you tires faster..but i always over inflate my tires..done it ever since i had a tire come off my van while going express way going 70 mph..the tire came off the rim and i ended up in the median..the tire man who put the tire back on the rim told me to overinflated the tire and the tire would be OK

The weather will probally get warmer soon and the tire will thaw out on its own.

Get large amount warm (not hot) water and melt the ice around your tyre first. Then, try to get somebody to help you change the tyre (if you can't). Don't do anything stupid (like yanking or whacking your wheels) or else you'll have to even get a new car.
