ice jam
1. An accumulation of broken river ice caught in a narrow channel. Ice jams during freeze-up are quite porous, whereas breakup jams may comprise solid flows, frequently producing local floods during a spring breakup. 2. Fields of lake or sea ice thawed loose from the shores in early spring and blown against the shore, sometimes exerting great pressures.
