Default Freezing rain: What do the airline pilots do?

In watching a freezing rain/snow storm move from the midwest up to the
northeast US today, I again wonder how the airlines deal with freezing
rain. Are many flights canceled during a freezing rain storm or is it
business as usual?

Does a deicing on the ground and anti-icing equipment on the aircraft
provide the protection needed to fly into or out of freezing rain
conditions for the airline aircraft?
