Read the comments - it's just a bit of frosting.
In-flight icing is the accretion of supercooled liquid water (SLW) on the
airframe. This SLW can be in the form of cloud droplets or freezing
rain/drizzle.
The prerequisites for airframe icing are:
* The aircraft must be flying through VISIBLE supercooled liquid, i.e.
cloud, rain or drizzle
* The airframe temperature, at the point where the liquid strikes the
surface, must be sub-zero.
The ice buildup starts on the leading edges which is why they install the
anti-icing equipment there. You're not going to get ice forming on the
leading edge in perfectly clear air since there aren't droplets of water to
actually stick to the airframe.
