Default Icing problems with turbines??

Intake icing due to the drop in temp due to the pressure reduction in the intake can be a serious problem.

Rolls Royce, P+W and GE all call for engine anti-icing when :
Ambient temp below plus 10 C.
AND there is rain, sleet, snow or visibility less than 1 mile !
Dont have the problem in Australia !!
