If it is snowing dry snow and the temp is well below freezing you can pretty much discount ice if you remain clear of clouds. The snow may clog the air intake, but ice will not accrete on the leading edges. If you get up into clouds, however, regardless of whether snow is falling below the clouds, you should probably be prepared for ice accretion because in the clouds the water will most likely not be completely frozen, unless the temperature is VERY low and you will encounter supercooled droplets which will freeze when they hit the airframe. |
