Plasmas containing water ice grains are ubiquitous. Examples include certain of Saturn's rings [Goertz, 1989], terrestrial polar mesospheric clouds [Havnes et al., 1996], astrophysical molecular clouds [McClure et al., 2012], and comet tails [Davies et al., 1997].
The only relevance is comet tails where this mainstream paper has the empirically supported origin of water from a comet nucleus made of ices and dust.
