IM AN AIRLINE CAPTAIN...WHOOOOPEEEE!!!! You follow ATC vectors....a simple "unable" would have worked. There is a simple instrument in the cockpit called an outside air temperature tube...if it below zero or somewhere close...your going to get icing. You know you probably did scare the poor kid with your attitude making him think you are some big AIRLINE CAPTAIN as you put it...
