Frost will change the camber of the wing, increasing its lifting capability. If necessary to take off from a slushy runway, the freezing of landing gear mechanisms can be minimized by: delaying gear retraction until cruise climb is established. To determine runway braking action, consult the: local NOTAM's MU friction value.

One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. High camber generally promotes more airflow deflection, thanks to something called Bernoullis Principle. However, its even possible to generate lift from a wing with symmetrical upper and lower surfaces, that is, without camber.
