With pedants hat on, this is a not uncommon paragraph for jet operators' manuals:

"Icing Conditions exist when OAT on the ground or TAT in flight is
+10°C or below and visible moisture in any form is present"

Good enough for me.

Time to raise the other, oft-forgotten rule? If the use of engine anti-ice is anticipated at any time before the aircraft is clean, it should be included in the RTOW calculations.

I was taught that many years ago and I've always worked to it, but it is amazing how many have never heard of it - or is it wrong.....................?
