A mathematical model of the mechanics of heterogeneous media 
is suggested to describe the icing of the surfaces of bodies placed 
into an atmosphere containing supercooled droplets of liquid. Verification 
of the model by using the dependence of the temperature of a body 
in a flow on time has proved the adequacy of the model.
