Yeah, but you can see that and choose whether to de-ice or not go flying.

Once Upon A Time, when the instructor came out to the aircraft I said "there's frost on the tops of the wings". "So there is", he said, "now let's go flying."

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, children - this guy was a test pilot, but you may not be.
