Narrative:
On departure with a V1 117 vr 117 V2 127, the captain aborted past V1, in fact speed at abort was just below V2 as I had not yet made that callout. The rejected takeoff feature was in use and maximum reverse thrust was applied, the aircraft stopped with 1000 ft of runway remaining. Backgnd: WX was high overcast with light snow falling. OAT 21 degrees F (approximately) a strong crosswind was blowing out of the west (as I remember it was about 340 degrees at 21 G 25). During preflight I noticed ice had formed on the fuselage but it was clear that the wings had been de- iced. I later mentioned this to the captain but he stated that they had just finished de-icing and all was clear (he had observed the final de-ice). We pushed back, started engines, ran checklists (engine anti-ice on). We were cleared for takeoff and proceeded to go. Stand up was normal, automatic throttles advanced the power to takeoff and all engine indications were normal. As airspeed approached 80 KTS, the effects of the crosswind were noticeable. However, the captain did not apply aileron into the wind (not that big a deal). At 117 KTS he rotated the aircraft (2-3 degrees per second) and I felt and saw the left wing rise a little. At this point he added 10 degrees of control wheel deflection which was insufficient to counteract the crosswind. Just as I was going to add some control input for him, he elected to abort, closed the throttles (he never did announce the abort), put the engines into reverse. I called the tower and made a PA as we cleared the runway. During this time, he told ATC that we aborted for a takeoff warning horn (we had no malfunction of that system), and we returned to the ramp where he wrote it up as a takeoff warning at 125 KTS. He then stated that he felt there was ice on the right wing and so when he felt it roll right he elected to abort. There was no ice, the wings were clear and free. He simply did not use enough aileron control into the wind. After 64 mins for brake cooling, we continued without incident.

Title: TKOF ABORTED. TKOF DELAYED.
Narrative: ON DEP WITH A V1 117 VR 117 V2 127, THE CAPT ABORTED PAST V1, IN FACT SPD AT ABORT WAS JUST BELOW V2 AS I HAD NOT YET MADE THAT CALLOUT. THE RTO FEATURE WAS IN USE AND MAX REVERSE THRUST WAS APPLIED, THE ACFT STOPPED WITH 1000 FT OF RWY REMAINING. BACKGND: WX WAS HIGH OVCST WITH LIGHT SNOW FALLING. OAT 21 DEGS F (APPROX) A STRONG XWIND WAS BLOWING OUT OF THE W (AS I REMEMBER IT WAS ABOUT 340 DEGS AT 21 G 25). DURING PREFLT I NOTICED ICE HAD FORMED ON THE FUSELAGE BUT IT WAS CLR THAT THE WINGS HAD BEEN DE- ICED. I LATER MENTIONED THIS TO THE CAPT BUT HE STATED THAT THEY HAD JUST FINISHED DE-ICING AND ALL WAS CLR (HE HAD OBSERVED THE FINAL DE-ICE). WE PUSHED BACK, STARTED ENGS, RAN CHKLISTS (ENG ANTI-ICE ON). WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF AND PROCEEDED TO GO. STAND UP WAS NORMAL, AUTO THROTTLES ADVANCED THE PWR TO TKOF AND ALL ENG INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. AS AIRSPD APCHED 80 KTS, THE EFFECTS OF THE XWIND WERE NOTICEABLE. HOWEVER, THE CAPT DID NOT APPLY AILERON INTO THE WIND (NOT THAT BIG A DEAL). AT 117 KTS HE ROTATED THE ACFT (2-3 DEGS PER SECOND) AND I FELT AND SAW THE L WING RISE A LITTLE. AT THIS POINT HE ADDED 10 DEGS OF CTL WHEEL DEFLECTION WHICH WAS INSUFFICIENT TO COUNTERACT THE XWIND. JUST AS I WAS GOING TO ADD SOME CTL INPUT FOR HIM, HE ELECTED TO ABORT, CLOSED THE THROTTLES (HE NEVER DID ANNOUNCE THE ABORT), PUT THE ENGS INTO REVERSE. I CALLED THE TWR AND MADE A PA AS WE CLRED THE RWY. DURING THIS TIME, HE TOLD ATC THAT WE ABORTED FOR A TKOF WARNING HORN (WE HAD NO MALFUNCTION OF THAT SYS), AND WE RETURNED TO THE RAMP WHERE HE WROTE IT UP AS A TKOF WARNING AT 125 KTS. HE THEN STATED THAT HE FELT THERE WAS ICE ON THE R WING AND SO WHEN HE FELT IT ROLL R HE ELECTED TO ABORT. THERE WAS NO ICE, THE WINGS WERE CLR AND FREE. HE SIMPLY DID NOT USE ENOUGH AILERON CTL INTO THE WIND. AFTER 64 MINS FOR BRAKE COOLING, WE CONTINUED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
