Snice is a portmanteau of ''snow'' and ''ice''. It refers to a type of frozen water whose physical characteristics make it an intermediate between snow and ice: ''snow-ice.'' The use of snice has become normative in modern ice construction, in buildings such as the constructed annually in certain arctic nations, and the elaborate ice palace constructions, where it forms the bonding between ice blocks, rather as mortar does between the bricks of a traditional brick-built structure.
It is referred to as snow-ice because it has a snow-like appearance , but ice-like physical characteristics.
Other uses
* A type of shaved ice made from frozen milk rather than frozen water. Originating in Taiwan, it is usually topped with sauce, such as strawberry sauce, or peanuts with peanut sauce.
