ice dam : This term was submitted to our language information service and appeared in the following sentence :"An ice dam is being installed at the back of the building to stop any ice and snow from falling on the deck. "However, since we could not validate this use of the term in any other source, we do not recommend its usage. An "ice dam" is normally(and correctly) used to designate a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of an inadequately insulated and ventilated roof and prevents melting snow(water) from draining off the roof, causing ice damming(in French "digue de glace"). 8, record 3, English, - snow%20guard
