FWIW even that can still turn your airplane into a popsicle.

Yes it can. Avoid icing conditions. IMC isn’t always Icing, so hopefully there are days in NE where IMC isn’t icing. NE pilots can chime in here. NE flying isn’t something I can comment on.

As a NE pilot in a 172, I fly in IMC quite a bit, but I avoid icing like the plague. If the temp gets to 2C or less and I’m in precipitation, I ask for lower or ask for vectors away from precip if I can get them. I like temps to be over 50F on takeoff if I plan to be in IMC because the adiabatic lapse rate generally provides sufficient spread up to the altitudes I’m flying. I try to stay around 5K feet for local IFR flights.

Makes sense but 50 degrees pretty hard come December to March?
