Pace is convinced snow does not stick to airframes. Well it might, but by then it has subtly changed to ice.

With all due respect what is snow? how do snow flakes change to ice? only a liquid can change to Ice. examine a snow flake and then work out what its composure is?

On a slippery airframe snow flakes will not accumulate only as I stated in one post if there is nowhere for them to go. Ie they impact onto a thin mesh unheated grill unusual on most aircraft.

You really are digging yourself a bigger hole with each post
