Ice is a very terrible conductor, I would just get on a ladder and tap/move it with a hockey stick or other non conductive stick. A 2x4 or something that has been sitting in the garage is fine, even if it's "wet" it's going to be frozen. Wont conduct anything. It's only 240v, it's not going to arc at you or anything. Higher voltages would potentially be more dangerous to deal with in this regard. Also remember that lien is insulated, so you could technically use a metal pole, just, don't do that, because there could always be a break in the insulation.
Though, unless it looks very bad you can probably just leave it alone. I'd call the hydro company first just to see what they say. If they'll send someone and do it for free then may as well get them to do it.
