Yes there was ice, but ice alone is not a problem for the Q400 in the same way it is not a problem for a B737.
THAT is an incorrect statement
!
Ice can be a problem for
ANY aircraft. While the NTSB Report on UAL #553 did not say airframe ice was a 'cause', there were numerous 737 pilots at the time (myself included) who were convinced, knowing the crew, that tail ice was the primary cause of that accident. But it was far easier to blame the dead crew.
