Canopy ice content check during initial conditions interferes with restart files under certain conditions #474

Bug Report

Error FATAL ERROR: summa_readRestart/check_icond/canopy ice > 0 when canopy temperature > Tfreeze can be triggered in cases where a restart file has a non-zero canopy snow/ice state but temperature > Tfreeze. This is not always a physical impossibility in cases when:

During regular simulations both cases should run fine, but such cases do not make it through a restart. It is not entirely clear to me why this check appears in the ICs and I therefore don't know the best approach to solving this. Thoughts?

This issue is also appearing in several simulations and causing crashes. Would be great to have a resolution.

Fixed in #481 Closing this for now until we have a reason to revisit the warning/error approach applied
