WX Scenario:
Weakly unstable, capped airmass with flow component over unfrozen Lake Ontario in the wake of a surface low pressure system causes the development of a vertically bounded SLW layer with multiple MOG PIREPs.
Discussion:
The significant in-flight icing called out by the 14:08 PIREP is captured well at all tilt angles with a significant volume of 'IHL=yes', mostly due to the SLW algorithm. The two non-polarized algorithms have some area of IHL=yes due to FRZDRZ in the northeast quadrant at the lowest tilt angle, but not much. NIRSS correctly identifies MOG icing in a layer that thins by the second MOG PIREP.
