falling ice
Frozen precipitation descending
Falling ice refers to ice that detaches and drops from elevated surfaces—buildings, bridges, trees, or aircraft.
Warning signs reading "Danger: Falling Ice" appear on city sidewalks during winter thaws when ice sheets slide from rooftops.
The phrase also describes hazardous conditions in mountaineering, where glacial ice breaks away from cliffs: We waited until afternoon when the falling ice risk decreased.
