Calculating loss through ice buildup

[kam1073]

Can anyone point me to a source or study that has looked at the loss numbers due to different levels of snow and ice buildup?

Trying to build in some rough fade margin numbers for a 902-928 MHz ISM band system that gets heavy ice and snow.

Maybe you should spec antennas with radomes or even heated radomes?
