The descent rule is not intended to require anti-ice in descent outside of icing conditions. Effectively means switch em on just before entering cloud.

As you are moving from a colder to a warmer environment and the nacelle may be cold soaked it is possible to get ice at lower temperatures than you would normally expect since the nacelle may be substantially below the saturation temperature of the air you are flying into.
