If thou doſt marry, Ile giue thee / This plague to thy dowry: / Be thou as chaſte asyce, as pure as ſnowe, / Thou ſhalt not ſcape calumny, to a Nunnery goe.
1882,Popular Science Monthly (volume 20), "The Freezing of a Salt Lake"
It has always been difficult to explain howice is formed on the surface of oceans while the temperature of maximum density is lower than that of cogelation, and the observations on this lake were instituted in the hope that they might throw light upon the subject.
2013 May 11, “The climate of Tibet: Pole-land”, inThe Economist[1], volume407, number8835, page80:
Of all the transitions brought about on the Earth’s surface by temperature change, the melting ofice into water is the starkest. It is binary. And for the land beneath, the air above and the life around, it changes everything.
(astronomy) Anyvolatile chemical, such as water, ammonia, or carbon dioxide, not necessarily in solid form, when discussing the composition of e.g. a planet as anice giant vs agas giant.
2010 March 15, Lance K. Erickson,Space Flight: History, Technology, and Operations, Government Institutes,→ISBN, page145:
Above the core is the lower-density liquid mantle composed of ice materials under high pressure and temperature. This massive liquid layer would not be separated into layers of traditional ice compounds, but mixtures of radically different compounds originally consisting of water, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia[…] Since the mass of the planet is dominated by the liquid mantle that itself consists of heatedices under pressure, both Uranus and Neptune are classified as giantice planets.
2010 December 2, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert,Principles of Planetary Climate, Cambridge University Press,→ISBN, page20:
Uranus and Neptune are[…] usually classified separately asice giants because they contain a much higher proportion of ice-forming substances such as water, ammonia, and methane.[…] In the case of Uranus, theice mantle must make up between 9.3 and 13.4 Earth masses worth of the total mass of the planet, which is 14.5 Earth masses. Similar proportions apply to Neptune. The commonly used term "ice mantle" is someone misleading, since the substance is actually a hot, slushy mixture that would be more aptly described as a water–ammonia ocean.
Neptune has one major moon: Triton, which is comparable in size to the Jovian moon Europa and at an average density of 2.061 g/cm3 widely understood to be covered by several hundred km of frozen or liquidice.
Her eyes flash with anger, her voiceice. "You afraid of the law? You haven't changed. I want you out of my housenow."
(figuratively) Something, such as awkwardness, that prevents open social interaction.
1982 February 6, Bob Nelson, “'Rocky Relations' in New York Getting Smoother”, inGay Community News, volume 9, number28, page 3:
The dialogues—or "raps"—usually take place on a monthly or bi-monthly basis and aim at fostering contacts hand at breaking through stereotypical notions held by both sides. "There's no question that there'sice to begin with," said Lance Bradley, who conducts the raps for Chelsea's Tenth Precinct.
(ice hockey) The area where a game of ice hockey is played.
2006, CBC, Finland, Sweden 'the dream final', February 26 2002,
The neighbouring countries have enjoyed many great battles on theice. They last met for gold at the 1998 world championship, won by Sweden. Three years earlier, Finland bested Sweden for the only world title in its history.
(now dialectal)Icing;frosting ("a sweet, often creamy and thick glaze made primarily of sugar").
1990, Jean Faley, quoting John McKee,Up Oor Close: Memories of Domestic Life in Glasgow Tenements, 1910–1945, Wendlebury, Oxon: White Cockade,→ISBN,page132:
Well weddings, they were just the usual ... my big brother was married in the Masonic and the Co-operative done the party. Steak pie and tatties, and all that sort of stuff. The wee square Albert cake withice on it, fruit cake. Then the wee dance after that. There was no drinking at oor wedding!
1960, United States. Congress,Congressional Record:
Theater operators, theater party agents, playwrights, and others who have ready access to tickets may get in on the “ice” and sometimes the producer is in on it too.
1970,Congressional Record: Proceedings and Debates:
This “ice” is bribe money paid to public officials to purchase protection for illegal activities.[…] Just consider the “ice” money available to the men involved in the examples just cited.
There were times when she could tell the Washingtons were overwhelmed by Jahlil's difficult ways, and one time Jessie even had the nerve to ask Carmiesha if she had smoked anything like crack orice while she was pregnant with him.
But you can't give cred to anything dude says / Same dude to give youice and you owe him some head

[She had] eaten a dinner at better than a hundred dollars a bite and she had enoughice on her ring finger to sink the Titanic. Maybe she really didn't have any morals. But she had a chance. And she was taking it.
2014 September 1, Keisha Ervin,Reckless 2: Nobody's Girl, Urban Books,→ISBN:
As she raised her left hand to get the crust out of her eye, she was blinded by theice on her ring finger. Two bands filled with diamonds sat under and on top of her five-carat princess-cut engagement ring. Instantly, memories of her wedding day flooded her mind.
