The person who asked the question has a KL7 callsign and the FCC
database shows an address in Anchorage!

Of course, current standards for towers require that most areas
calculate windload and survivability with 3/4" radial ice and
75% of maximum wind velocity *in addition to* maximum wind.

I’ve personally never lived in a place,
in 57 years of radio, where I had an ice problem.    You guys keep making things more 
complicated than necessary – I guess
the computer program was probably in error as well?

Just my humble opinion.
