There was a C 182 that crashed at a nearby airport to me some years ago. He made some poor flight planning decisions, picked up a bunch of ice on climb out and then tried to return to the airport. When he broke out of the clouds on the IFR approach he was at about 500 feet AGL. He then put the flaps down and without any warning the aircraft stalled. He was unable to fully recover and the aircraft crashed in a field short of the runway. He was not hurt but the aircraft was wrecked.
