DC9 PIC laments not writing up the low EPR that created an aborted takeoff at msp. He reran the engine to clear out the icing symptoms and departed msp for fairer climates.

Narrative:
Had to reject a takeoff because right engine (#2 engine) EPR was real low. We had been deiced. It was snowing. Engine anti-ice was on. I had run the engines up during taxi. I feel we did everything we could have done to make the engines ice/snow free before we tried the takeoff. We did taxi clear of the runway and ran up both engines. (Normal-normal) we talked to dispatch and maintenance control and on our second takeoff both engines worked fine. I just wish I had made an aircraft logbook entry.
