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?

Icing is a statistical phenomenon and smaller droplets are more likely to
form ice on wing and rudder surfaces. (ie rudder reversal)
