My understanding is thus:
Cliffs are solely determined by the height difference between terrain. (It was, at one time, possible to build cliffs by dropping dirt so it'd merge into the tile increasing the difference. That was corrected so players can't create cliffs--potential exploits with it.) Since it's winter and the river/stream is frozen, it's just a cliff because there is no water there. When the river thaws, it should go back to being a "water climb," waterfall, or whatever you want to call it.
I may be wrong, but I'd say check back in a couple days after the river thaws and see what happens.
