Default frost on the wing

If the wings and fuel are cold soaked enough any
moisture contacting the wing may form frozen contamination. This
forms on the upper surfaces after landing especially if you have alot
of fuel remaining.


What would prevent this from happening in flight? (n.b. in my case the ambient flight temps were just below freezing - radiative cooling may have lowered the wing temp =some= more, but a =lot= more?)
