Interesting. If so, that's the first instance of carb icing I've heard

Lycomings rarely suffer from carb icing because the air intake is routed through
the oil sump on most models. This keeps the carb warm.

Unless, of course, you just started the engine a few minutes ago and the oil's
still cold.

As of two years ago, Shenandoah Valley impressed me as having a pretty competent

It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
