I can't remember ice sticking to the fuselage being a concern during >2000 hrs of Alpine Dash 8 ops. There's a bit on the nose and a bit on unprotected parts, but I can't recall any ice accumulating around the outside of the fuselage once you're airborne. I'd prefer to be in a Dash 8-400 rather than an ATR when severe icing hits, can't recall a Dash 8 crashing due to icing.
