I'm thinking of the washing machine, when you have clothes in the 'spin' cycle and there's a pair of jeans wadded up on one side.
The 'clunk clunk clunk' you can hear from the other side of the house caused by the imbalance.
As I see it, this *has* to happen to a spinning ball like the Earth as ice builds up. And computers should be able to give some very good ideas as to the how, when, where.
The one big question to me is, what about the acceleration from such a momentum change? Wouldn't that destroy all buildings, throw people miles, etc?
We now know 'gravity' is actually curvature of the 'fabric' of the universe. Is it possible something about gravity prevents us from such acceleration changes outside our slice of 'space/time'?
That's what I was thinking, not to mention that movement like that would cause the world's oceans to 'slosh' over all the land masses on earth and destroy and kill everything.
It would explain a worldwide flood though.
But, I'm still thinkin'.
Good analogy.

I think a pole shift could trigger it since everywhere there's solidified lava, there should be a slight force that wants to align with the North and South. Integrate that force everywhere on the planet and the force may be enough to overcome the static friction that keeps everything in place at the moment. (Static friction between two entities is greater than kinetic friction between those same two entities by the way). But that's something I thought of two days ago and haven't seen anyone else with that theory. Scientists believe that our core is getting ready to flip it's poles. If it happens within the next few decades, we'll see. There may not be enough ice built up to get it going though since there's no land on the North Pole. Of course Geenland is pulling.

The ancient accounts say it took all day for this to happen so the speed of this would not be much more than a thousand miles an hour. Imagine taking 3 hours to accelerate from 0 to 1000 miles an hour and then another three hours to go back to 0. The acceleration would not be great at all, barely perceptable. I think there would be great winds though since the atmosphere is miles and miles thick. And the friction between the crust and the mantle would cause a lot of the earth's volcanos to erupt at once. "The fountains of the earth were broken up" paraphrasing from the bible during Noah's flood. So between the wind and the rumbling ground there probably wouldn't be many buildings left standing.

There seems to be a concept of zero velocity, zero acceleration in relation to the whole of the universe. Otherwise we'd see objects moving at nearly the speed of light and maybe even dipping in and out of time.
