Your propellors are not frozen...you have icing developing on the prop edges...looks like light rime icing similar to what can occur on airplane wings.

Anyone with an aviation background would look at those conditions and expect icing.

Also, he doesn’t know how the Land and Home buttons work. You can’t just tap on them, you have to tap & hold until the green line makes a full circle — that guards against accidental activation.
