a major concern.. especially if snow is heavy.. is blocking the air filter
intake and forcing use of an alternate air source.. does your "carb heat"
just apply heated air to the regular air intake to the carb or manifold? or
is it an "alternate air source"

In a typical spam can (say an archer), which has no deice at all (save
pitot
heat), is it safe to fly in snow? More generally, of course the snow will
bounce off and not stick to the wings (right?) but what about the clouds
that
are producing snow - will they also produce airframe ice? If it's above
freezing on the ground, and the clouds are very high, and it's snowing,
then as
I climb I'll (yes?) climb above the freezing level - is there danger in
that
transition when it's snowing? (I presume there's no freezing rain or
sleet,
else I'd see it on the ground, no?)
