WTF??

And usually, imho, substantially exaggerated just like turbulence reports.
Ah I wish I had known that earlier. I have always thought to stay well away from supecooled precipitation. If I had known it was substantially exagerated I would have flown many more hours and saved on additional overnight stops???

Sarcasm apart, I would strongly recommend doing a little more research before making statements like that. Icing is probably the single highest factor to bring down aircraft. There isnt an aircraft in existence that is cleared to fly in severe icing!!!
If you see fzra fzfg fzdz whether light or not, stay well clear. An aircraft in supercooled liquid can lose its aerodynamic properties in minutes.
I wonder how much the car in this picture weighs??

Maybe in areas with this kind of freezing rain, they should ammend the forecast and state, +FZRA (Oh and were not kidding this time!!!)
