Icing in cold temps

Very true.

Strong winds = open leads = ice fog. Often you will see a "Moon Dog" associated with these conditions.

I have picked up heavy clear at -45C in the Lougheed Island area in November/December/January.

I experienced the same icing conditions in the Beaufort Sea on 212/61/76's every winter I flew there (8 years).
