Of course loss-of-lift goes hand in hand with too low an airspeed due to insufficient thrust settings at rotation.
Is there really a finding in the report that wing contamination was a factor?
The engine EPR probe is in a fixed nose dome ahead of the fan and as such subject to lower temperatures during taxi out in snow/icing conditions without the benefit of de-icing
