There was a good bridge, but 6,000 men, including 2,000 cavalry, could not cross it expeditiously, so most of them waded through the icy stream.

On the night, the paratroopers waded through a strong, icy stream and unwittingly trudged through what turned out to be a minefield.

Beside me, an icy stream flows into the lake.

The road crossed and recrossed the icy stream, while snow, sleet and rain fell constantly.

Climbers can fall through the undermined snow fifty feet or more into the icy stream underneath.
