It was stressed to me by my old met teacher that water can remain in the atmospher in a liquid form down to temps down as low as -40C. This is on a sliding scale, i.e at -1c there is alot of super cooled water droplets in the atmospher and the colder it gets the less there is if that makes any sence. So use common dog and put the carb heat on, you know it makes sence.
