If Raven can thaw herself out, then so can Cinder. That would hardly be an ass-pull method of her surviving, come on people. Because we discussed on other threads already. Raven did so when her Aura was still active, meaning her body was protected from the ice touching her bare skin. Cinder on the other hand has no Aura, meaning the ice is touching her bare skin. For the ice to form that fast the temperature of it is below zero, and it is covering her skin, subjecting her to Freezer Burn.

Then there is the matter of how long it took Raven to thaw herself out. Raven took about 20 seconds to thaw herself out, without using fire. Cinder was frozen and hadn't come back out during the entire conversation with Raven and Yang, so unless she's hiding down there, she couldn't thaw herself.

In fact, here is the thread were we discussed all this: http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Cinder_Fall#comm-552548
