Update: An in-game event, codenamed "Mooney", has been discovered by data-miners in the v7.20 files. This event includes the Ice Sphere spotted above Polar Peak.
The "Ice Storm" challenges have been leaked by @FortniteGameLAT, which include an "Ice Legion". It's possible we may be seeing an upcoming in-game Boss Battle at the end of the event!
This is backed up by leaks from data-miners which showcase a new part of the map, with fog, and an Ice King.

Original article:
An event which involves an ice storm coming to the Fortnite map has been leaked in the in-game files by data-miners.
It could possibly be an in-game event that involves Polar Peak, in which a floating ice sphere has been spotted.
We'll have to see what happens in the event, but challenges have been spotted in the files (via @ShiinaBR).
Here are images giving warnings of the event (via SiloxLeaks):
Here are the sounds of the event (via HYPEX)
