In-cloud icing happens when water freezes from a cloud or fog. In-cloud icing happens when there are clouds or fog, that is below zero degrees. These clouds have super-cooled droplets in them, which freeze upon contact with the surface.
Icing in nature can happen mainly in two different ways: by in-cloud icing or precipitation icing. Precipitation icing happens when a liquid water drops fall on a surface and then freeze.
