Post Cross country in the winter

Hope someone can help me with a little niggle I've got.

I'm still waiting to do my xcountry, (for 2 months now). Anyway, am suppose to be trying again in the next few days.

My concern is the cold weather: I'm not too worried about the carb heat in freezing conditions, I'll just use it more often for longer. What I'm concerned about is possible icing on the wings or airframe. How do you ensure this doesn't happen? If it does, what can you do about it, (plus what is the likelyhood of this happening to a student PPL, (given that we're not allowed to fly in conditions too adverse)

Be glad of any input from anybody
