The young woman who had just set down this bucket of wondrous ice now drew the bottle of water out of it, so that the ice fell and crunched and made a gorgeous twinkling in the light.

The ice was lifting and falling and crunching all around them.

The ice crunched, and she felt layers compress under her, but the fractured surface supported her weight.

The ice crunched under his feet, and he stumbled in the dim light of the early gray morning, blinded by hot tears, now that he was alone.

More ice crunched underfoot.

Bulldozers had cleared snow from the streets nearest the stadium, but ice crunched underfoot outside the mission, which takes in people during the day and sends them off to other shelters at night.

The ice crunched beneath her feet as she headed for the car, opened the back door, and climbed inside.
