whether I should have landed with no flaps or with 10 degree
flap. [...] I generally dislike the noflap approach due to
extremely nose high position. I hate not being able to see a darn
thing ahead while landing. [...]


Next time this happens, consider not only landing flapless, but
touching down at well above normal stall airspeed, basically doing an
airliner (or floatplane still-water) style flying-to-the-ground
landing. The pitch angle won't be so high, and you won't be at the
mercy of the possibly nastier stall characteristics with ice on the
wings. You would need a longer runway.
