Another swing at a dead horse...weight is a minor factor. If you could carry
another passenger, you could carry as much weight in the form of ice as in
your worst nightmares.

I roughly calculated that the weight of 1 in. of ice on all forward
surfaces on my T182 (fixed gear) is about 250 lbs. Anyone cares to
comment on this?
