No icing problems, no taxi problems. I suspect a massive wind shear from the quartering tailwind just as the airplane rotated for takeoff. A sudden reduction of flying speed due to the tailwind gust and with the crosswind factor, the plane was literally slapped back on the runway at an angle. Not much a pilot can do.
