Investigator assessment
Analysis narrative
The pilot reported he was landing on runway 16 with a crosswind from 210 degrees at 8 knots, gusting to 12. He said he was just touching down on 'patchy ice' when a gust of wind blew the airplane off the runway. He was unable to maintain directional control, and the airplane went off the runway and nosed over.
