On a recent trip I flew the depth of the country from Central Texas to Northern Minnesota, and along the way there was cloud and ice everywhere. It was a great lesson in the importance of preparation and a careful study of the conditions using all the tools at my disposal.

I really think you should rave about TKS deice systems. It is the best thing to ever happen to small airplanes that fly in the ice prone areas of the country. I flew a Bonanza for 5 years with TKS, rarely canceled due to ice. It is fantastic system. Your pictures are very good to show those who have never been in ice.
There is a new NASA course that is free and covers icing very well. It explains many of these pictures and is great for those who do not often have to deal with or plan for icing.
