Need advice on a pool/ice issue

In the process of all of our outdoor cleanup, I forgot to store the outdoor trash can. It is light, 2-4lbs, plastic, latched shut on top but has small slots on bottom to drain any water that might get in. Well, while on vacation, a huge windstorm came through and blew the can into our pool, which has the winter cover on it. This is an above ground pool. Then another storm came through and dropped 6 inches of snow on it, which partially melted and then froze. So now this can is under snow and ice, and I am worried that it is going to break the pool in some way. Any thought on how to get it out? It is in the dead center of a 24' diameter pool.
