✅ Both words denote a coldness in someone’s voice or manner.

✅ Icy generally describes coldness in demeanor, whereas steely specifically refers to strength and determination with a clear dose of harshness (His tone was icy, making everyone uncomfortable; Their steely resolve impressed the rival team).
