Narrative:

Aircraft X sbound cleared direct sby before lateral separation ensured with aircraft Y northbound J79 at FL330. Aircraft X climbing to FL350. At this point I assumed control of sector. I was distraction by another aircraft in icing conditions, the wind pushed aircraft X further east towards aircraft Y. Standard separation lost.

Title: CTLR RPTS LESS THAN THE APPLICABLE SEPARATION MINIMA RESULTED BTWN 2 ACFT.

Narrative: ACFT X SBOUND CLRED DIRECT SBY BEFORE LATERAL SEPARATION ENSURED WITH ACFT Y NBOUND J79 AT FL330. ACFT X CLBING TO FL350. AT THIS POINT I ASSUMED CTL OF SECTOR. I WAS DISTR BY ANOTHER ACFT IN ICING CONDITIONS, THE WIND PUSHED ACFT X FURTHER E TOWARDS ACFT Y. STANDARD SEPARATION LOST.
