Caravan & flight in known icing

Y'all be careful out there. The Cessna caravan would not be my first choice for flying around for any real length of time in known icing. I have zero time in the caravan but the accident investigator sitting in my jump seat headed up to investigate a fatal caravan accident in the frozen north was not impressed with the type's safety record in ice.

It would be interesting to hear from others who have actually flown the C208 regarding its capability in known ice.
