Ice is "known" to be present anytime there is visible moisture in the liquid state and the temp is below freezing. There will ALWAYS be icing under these conditions. Always, no exceptions. I"m not sure at what point you consider clouds to be liquid versus gas (vapor). I've often flown in the clouds at -5C without picking up any ice. I've also flown in the same looking clouds and did pick up ice. I still believe that there is a lot yet to learn about predicting ice. It seems like you are many times more likely to pick up ice in cumulous clouds than stratus (from practical experience). It also seems like stratus usually only make ice near the top. Richard Collins has often written on the continuing research the gov't is doing trying to better predict when ice will occur. -Robert |
