Yep, 100% possible I had carb heat on seemed to clear it up a bit then I
decided to descend and it iced up all the way until engine out with carb
heat on.

Yeah, I had that happen on my last carb ice 'adventure', but I've always
presumed it was because the carburetor was ingesting large amounts of ice
and water as carb heat was slowly melting the ice that had accumulated in
the carb's throat - which was causing the engine to intermittently quit.
That is,,,, that I had waited longer than I should have before applying carb
heat and was now melting a large amount of ice that was impeding the carb
throat.

This suggestion is not meant to be a shameless plug, but I'd be interested
to know how closely your experience paralleled with my last (i.e. carb ice
prob), if you wouldn't mind taking a peek at this link to the description of
my experience and could e-mail me later after reading it - telling me how
closely our two experiences paralleled.... Just curious.
