Remember that "light sources" will cause snow and ice to melt.
If you can include torches or glowstone into your mill design, the ice won't form around them.
Does anyone know if you can "heat" the water by putting glowstone under the water to melt the ice? Maybe layered like:
water
water
dirt
glowstone
Just curious.
I don't think anything, glowstone and lava included, will heat through dirt.
If you really don't want it to freeze, or snow to fall on the block, try pillaring up to the very top, then placing glass blocks over all the surface blocks you want to protect.
Actually, glowstone and lava will heat through at least one layer of dirt. Or at least it used to. I haven't done it in a while, not since my taiga became a desert biome.
Snow will only accumulate on whole blocks. It won't stick to half slabs and stairs. Something to keep in mind when making buildings in the snow. As for your mill: Why does it have to be on a river? Windmills are a thing.

Would be like the Skyrim mill I keep seeing in tutorials, I like the look of the waterwheel. I am not much of a windmill fan myself, tho may dabble in that to see how they look in my worlds

Simple Qs:
1) If I remove snow from a block, say to create a village and have "leftover" grass blocks, do they refill with the snow layer?
2) If I remove ice from a river/body of water, does that refreeze?
3) Does snow accumulate on a built structure?
4) Do villages generate in snowy biomes?
2 is most important as I would like to put a mill on the river, but if ice freezes around then it would be out of place

That kinda stinks, puts kinda a freeze on a snowy lumber mill and will force me to push a different one down river.
I will have to make a house and see how the snow accumulates on the roof or wherever.
The glass wouldnt work for me unfortunately as I use a mashup pack and would definitely be noticable
