BRRRR. I'll take tropical, please.

Looks like they are testing in icing conditions. Might provide an interesting method of aero study because you would have a build up of ice where the supercooled droplets hit the car or the ground due to their higher momentum.

Looks like you can visualize the flow around the front of the car on the ground.
