Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- noun Ice formed by the freezing of slush: such ice is opaque and white, owing to the incompleteness of the melting of the snow: opposed to black ice. The word is especially used of ice thus formed in places where, without the snow, black ice would have been formed, as on a pond or a river.
