great cornholio said:The worst ice I ever picked up was at -28C a few months ago. Guess I got those Super-cooled Liquid Droplets that NASA talks about. Anyways it was nuts...got 1/2 inch of ice in no time. The boots kept up so I didn't call it svr ice, but it was pretty close. I couldn't belive that we got any ice at all since it was sooo cold..but guess you learn something new everyday.

PAPA FOX! said:What altitude did this occur at and in what type aircraft? Were you traversing a strong low, a well defined front, or in lake effect clouds? Where did it occur? Did a simple altitude change of a few thousand feet get you out of it?
When I first read that I thought FZRA but of course it never could occur at that temp.
