This is true if the snow being produced is the flake type which results
from
the direct crystalization of water vapor. The round "pellet" type snow
results from the freezing of liquid cloud droplets. Clouds that are
snowing
a lot of pellet type snow have a lot of ice in them.

The smaller droplets being the more dangerous.

Rime ice? Why? That part breaks more easily from surfaces?
