Icing in cloud.

Well it's that time of year again (at least at CYAM).
The freezing level is at the surface or below, and according to our SOP's we can't fly in cloud anymore. This is based on the assumpsion that if you enter cloud above the freezing level you'll pick up ice. Well in my experience, not every cloud that's below freezing contains ice, in fact it's pretty rare and I've only ever seen it between about -5 and -15. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Maybe my experience is too limited or I'm just really lucky.

Cheers,
