Thanks for all the input so far guys.
So riddle me this...I wanted to go IFR today. Temp/dew was 02/01 visiblity was 2sm, cig was ovc at 600 feet. Lovely weather to gather some actual instrument time!
However, using the 2deg/1000 feet, that means once I climb 1000 feet, I will be at the freezing level. Does this constitute known icing conditions both in the aspect of safety and legality?
aviationweather doesnt show any air/sigmets for icing over the area nor where there any pireps of any type of icing.
What do I Make of that? Is it best that I didnt go or given the lack of pireps/forcasted ice should I have gone as long as I had safety outs (a general consensus here).
Edit: Incidentally I checked the winds aloft and temps showed +C all the way up to over 6000 feet. I am confused... would this be a temperature inversion since its actually warmer above us? See previous metar.
