Have to disagree with you on the blades being the last place to ice up. I operate in it about 6 months of the year and have seen no ice on the machine(mirrors/door handles etc.) and the tq going through the roof and vice versa. Everything else(mirrors/door handles etc.) iced up and no tq rise. I would agree that the temp of the blades most probably played a role in this but be careful with ice. Thats what makes it so unpredictable. I can post some pics if you guys are interested in seeing machines with 2 inches of ice and still working as advertized.

The AS332 RFM also includes frz drizzle now. This was changed about 3 years ago. Used to operate in it but not anymore
