what does the phrase "la ley de hielo" mean?

I came across this while reading "Los Ojos de Carmen" for school. The context was something like "Mi prima en cambio se dedicó a hacerme la ley de hielo. No me hablaba." I was guessing it meant something like the silent treatment, but I wasn't sure.

la ley de hielo

Brr! I like the first definition here:

0 conversaciones; 0 atención;, 0 miradas; 0 sexo; 0 comida;

Women can be brutal!

But, yes, the «silent treatment» would be correct.

Es aquellla actitud en la cual alguna persona trata con indiferencia o a otra(s) ò simplemente la ignoras

¡Bienvenida al foro!

That's right! The silent treatment. Means no talking at all.
