Pace - unless it is freezing rain which requires specific conditions to form and is well forecast, taking off into rain is not a problem. You need to be in cloud (if that is what you want to call visible moisture) below 0 degrees to be in icing conditions.

Snow is not visible moisture it is ice.

Carb icing can occur in humid environments at up to 30 degrees C OAT.
