re: Turboprop icing on approach to Buffalo
I'm struck by Scudrunner's observation in comment 459; that a clean aircraft can acquire an inch of ice in a matter of seconds. Like having a bucket of water thrown over your car.
Implies that icing conditions can vary quite a bit, so one plane can encounter moderate or light icing, and a minute or two later one following can have a very unpleasant surprise.
Does this happen?
