With a twin engine, even if you do get iced on one engine you still have the other right?. But on a single I don't think you'll be able to get back up again. Thanks for the advice anyway.

That was a joke right?
God help us getting into the airways if the OAT below zero, I would never get to go flying! There is a difference between climbing through the freezing layer and sitting in it for as long period of time. We often climb through freezing cloud and accumulate ice to arrive in the sunshine on top and the ice will melt away. All in a non deiced single. But I assure you my Twin ices up just the same as the Cessna, but I have only used the deice once. It is about carefull planning, risk assessment and judgement.
