Okay found some info on Pigeons! Let's assume Ravens fly the same speed!
In Great Britain distances of over 723 miles have been flown on the day, by pigeons flying home from Nantes in western France to Fraserburgh in Scotland. Released at 0600 hrs in the morning the birds have been timed in their lofts before 10.00 at night
So a Raven could make the trip in 3 days. Let's say a dragon can go at twice that speed with a Rider, They would have been stuck for ~ 5 days give or take.
They easily could have been sitting there waiting for 5 days. They just should have shown them at night for 30 seconds using the sword as heat and melting snow for water. Would have made way more sense.
