airframe icing

In the Air if you encounter ice, first power up, go up, you can always go down,
Amazing,, If I had realized it was that simple I shouldnt have bothered all the research.
So if you encountered ice pellets in flight, would you still power up and go up I wonder. Could it be in that instance that there would be freezing rain, guaranteed at a higher level????? Lets also consider the surface temperature is below freezing and then you really are up creek without a paddle. Im sure you must know all about warm and stationary fronts and temperature inversions etc or didnt your advice account for that?
I did say this post wasnt for the professional pilots who knew all there was to know but if thats your advice, you would probably benefit in a huge way from taking the time to have a look at it. Theres some interesting accident reports from invetigators who actually reference poor decision making in nearly every case and theres plenty of them
