Thank you for pointing this out. The "visable moisture" requirement is

for
in-flight icing, not frost. Temp/Dewpoint at TEB yesterday morning was
M04/M08. Obviously the "collecting surface" was below freezing and the

temp
dewpoint spread was narrow enough for the humidity to sublimate and create
frost on the wings.

Sounds like we're closing in on an answer, or at the very least reasonably
informed speculation.
