Mechanisms for Ice Bonding in Wet Snow Accretions on Power Lines,
Abstract
We first review the growth and compaction processes in wet snow accretions, and then argue that interparticle bonding (freezing) is a necessary feature of these accretions. Finally, we explain how this bonding or freezing mechanism can take place in the absence of subfreezing external conditions.
