Default Triangle shaped ice/frost on the wing - anyone seen this?

It is probably due to structure on your airplane being colder than the air.
The triangles are probably reinforcements or doublers under the skin.


I will have to ask my A&P. I am fairly certain that on a Cherokee,
the inner wing is much simpler than that... Ie ribs with the outer
wing skin riveted to them.
