Is there an explanation for why small radii objects collect ice
faster? The NASA icing video simply states this fact without giving an
explanation. I have found the same with most other sources as well.


The acretion of ice is statistical in nature and that is why small


objects

gather ice.



What??



That is how icing works in real life.



What is statistical about large vs. small objects and the rate of ice
accretion?
