Should I attempt to do anything about the ice that is now in my tubing? I'm using 5/16 spouts with tubing down into buckets 2 lines in each 5 gallon pail. My tubing is pretty much a straight shot into buckets with hardly any curves and it does not go down below top of pail and then up again.

No, you don't need to do anything, they will thaw.

It may defrost today, and you'll have a gusher. We have had ice in the lines which suddenly defrosted and caused the sap to flow like a garden hose.
