Ice Storm Event

The Ice Storm Event was a Battle Royale event introduced four days day after the 7.20 Patch Update on January 19 at 2:00pm EST (due to the sphere exploding and covered the map in snow) with the live Ice Storm event. The event lasted for 10 days (January 19th-29th).

On Twitter, Fortnite released a promotional video at the start of the Ice Storm Event, The Ice Queen holding the Icebringer pickaxe under Polar Peak surrounded by Ice Monsters.

LTMs

During the 10 day long event, Solo and Duos were replaced with new Ice Storm Solo and Duo LTMs as well as an additional Ice Storm variant of Squads too. This gamemode is almost exactly like that of Fortnitemares, with the exception of a completely snow-covered map, Cube Monsters renamed to Ice Legion, Ice Shards replacing Cube Fragments as Ice Legion spawners, and new icy textures for all the Ice Legion.
