"According to the latest copy the the US 'Flying' magazine which happens to have an article on this very subject, they say that there is no problem flying in snow (providing it's not the wet/sleety variety that could turn to ice)."
Right so that I understand before I nip down and hire meself a Warrior
Its OK in dry snow ,but not in wet snow.
So how do these guys know when the dry snow is going to suddenly (and maybe catastrophically) turn into wet snow which on contact with the freezing cold wing will immediately turn into a sheet of nasty clear ice and bring the whole flipping lot down into a big smokey mess?
