Wikipedia
Ice jam
Ice jams occur when floating river ice accumulates at a natural or man-made feature that impedes the progress of the ice downstream with the river current. Ice jams can significantly reduce the flow of a river and cause upstream flooding—sometimes called ice dams. Ice jam flooding can also occur downstream when the jam releases in an outburst flood. In either case, flooding can cause damage to structures on shore.

Examples of ice jam in a Sentence
The ice floats down river until it bunches up in what we call an ice-jam, like a dam, causing flooding, all that backed-up water is eventually going downstream.
Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta:
Ice-jam floods are very unpredictable and conditions can change quickly with little warning, there is no reasonable engineering solution to unlock the ice jams at this point. We have to rely on warm weather to soften the ice.
