Exactly, all 3 airlines I've been out require this if taxiing in icing conditions as defined by their respective flight manuals...which all pretty much say the same thing. Now we even are required to do engine run ups during this time if on an extended taxi out to get rid of ice accumulation. Makes me wonder who had read the FOM and who hasn't...
