my 2 cents,

I believe the speed is not a huge factor, unless you do fly fast enough to increase the TAT to above freezing.

There are charts produced by flight planning offices that give you the CAS required to avoid icing at a certain level. I have seen as high as 390kts required at 10000' in my part of the world.


Cheers,

Con
