I don't think I believe the assertion that:

"wet mushy snow, which is a mixture of snow crystals and supercooled raindrops, will form pack snow on the aircraft"

Surely "wet mushy snow" occurs when snow partially melts. Doesn't the fact that the snow is melting indicate above-freezing temperatures, in which case the airframe is probably above freezing too?
