Lots of talk here about wings that should or should not have come off.
The rules of life for crap weather are:

1. If you are not trained and current to perform a task in an aircraft eg instrument flying,

then don't

2. If the aircraft is not certified and correctly instrumented and serviceable for the task of crap weather including icing,

then don't

3. If you, on the day are not fully fit and up to the task,

then don't

If you cross any of the above, then there is a fair chance you don't get a chance to back peddle and fly another day

Two bobs worth from a bloke who has lost friends in contraptions from hang gliders to supersonic jets and things in between and nearly been cleaned up a few times myself...
