High-Up Ice-Up	comment	The higher you go, the colder the air gets. The logical extreme of this results in ice forming on anything that gets too high up; birds, jets, jetpacks, anything. This is a common event in early aviation stories, creating suspense as the co-pilot or a passenger must go out on the wing or tail to dislodge the ice. This can also be invoked, as a sort of inverted Wronski Feint. Compare and contrast Icarus Allusion.

High-Up Ice-Up / int_27b0262b	comment	MythBusters has tested the "blue ice" phenomenon, where the contents of an airplane toilet are dumped midflight and freeze in midair into a dangerous chunk of ice. While dumping the toilet went too fast to form a solid mass, a slow leak was found to build up ice on a plane's fuselage until it broke off for a similar effect, confirming the myth.

High-Up Ice-Up / int_300b0c1f	comment	In I Shall Wear Midnight, Tiffany keeps her broomstick tethered to herself on a piece of string because if she ties it to a bush, some kid is likely to steal it and fly so high this trope would come into play.

High-Up Ice-Up / int_4b790c79	comment	Iron Man: When testing the Mark II armor, Tony nearly dies when he flies too high and freezes up. To remedy this, he creates the Mark III out of an alloy that one of his high-atmosphere satellites is made out of (and conveniently gives the armor its signature gold color). It becomes a Chekhov's Gun at the end of the movie: since Obidiah Stane's Iron Monger suit was built from the remains of the Mark I, Tony lures him up into the atmosphere, correctly guessing that Stane never worked out the "icing problem" himself.

As Harry climbs higher and higher, ice forms on his hair, clothes, and broomstick while his face sustains multiple cuts from the rain becoming more icicle-like.
