Many of the Solar system's small-body populations formed and have been stored for 4.5 Gyr at temperatures low enough to preserve the common ices, especially water ice. Observational evidence for ice requires near infrared spectroscopy from large telescopes at dry sites, since the target bodies are mostly small, distant and faint. I will review the evidence concerning ice in small bodies, consider the important question of the crystallinity of the ice, and discuss some connections that can be drawn to the formation conditions.
