The worst ice I ever got into was one night near Pelee Island when a
controller insisted that I had to climb from 4000 and in the clear, to 8000
and in the clouds, with the icing level around 6500... I lasted about 3
minutes after reaching 8000 and after she flatly refused to allow me to go
lower, I declared an emergency and descended off the airway to melt the
ice... The Great Lakes ice machine will bite you if you are not wary...

One of the local Detroit stations, WDIV, had extensive coverage of
this story as it was unfolding.
