OK next question, do you get airframe icing above those temps?

I regularly see icing on the windscreen at TAT around +20, i assume there is more on the airframe. Icing is visible below OAT of zero, (the freezing level).

The MEL has multiple requirement that reference no flight into known or forecast icing conditions.
I think I maybe missing something here.
We see ice at temps below 0 OAT yet our manual suggests icing is only a problem at temps below 6 degrees TAT in visible moisture. Anyone have any info to fill in the blanks for me?
