Abstract
A system and method for indicating the presence of ice water. The system includes a first sensor responsive to liquid water and ice water and a second sensor responsive to liquid water, power sources having output powers responsive to changes in the liquid water and the ice water contacting the respective sensors. A processor determines a first measure indicative of the ice water and the liquid water contacting the first sensor, determines a second measure indicative of liquid water contacting the second sensor and subtracts the second measure from the first measure to indicate a presence of the ice water.
