Today I started the cold crash, drained the trub, and opened up the fermentor to add the gelatin. This allowed me to get my first look at the top of the fermentor. I found that there was a good about of hops that didn't settle out yet, and I had a little yeast still floating around. Looks like it got a good krousen at the peak of fermentation.

Looks good. It may be too late now but I assume your gravity was stable before you started to crash. Anyway, for the yeast rafts and hops, the cold crash will settle those out especially with the gelatin.
 
Yes, the gravity hasn't changed since Thursday, and bubbles were down to every few seconds. I checked it last night and noticed that the starsan in the airlock was frozen solid.
