G1000? What's that? It was a stock 310 but mostly I flew a Twin Beech
around that area. We had boots and electric props on the 310 and boots
and alchohol props and usually alky windscreens on the 18s.

Not many Bonanza's with even that level of deice on board.

Yeah, I remember it well. I never got into any real trouble with ice,
but my boss when I worked in MI did once. He just made it into some
place in Ohio. I did get some in Michigan that caused an engine to
cough, but I managed to clear it. I had also got a lot on the bottom of
the wing holding. I went along with a guy in a 310 once and we got a lot
on the tip tanks which was causing us a lot of grief, but we were never
in the situation where we couldn't hold altitude.
OTOH, I have come down in singles covered with ice more than once!

I've been chicken so far this winter. But they're not my airplanes.
