There are wind chill, winter storm warnings, high wind warnings and gale warnings across the entire northern tier of the USA by the National Weather Service.

The first thing that comes to mind is the recent death of a family flying in their private plane from Florida north. The sole survivor of the crash was a seven year old that had the presence of mind to save her own life by walking three quarters of a mile to a porch light she saw after getting out of the aircraft. She stated to the man that answered the door, "My parents are dead, can you help me?" She learned survival skills from her father as a young girl. When she knocked at the door to the home she was covered in blood from walking through briars and traversing a water way.

Please advise small aircraft to reconsider their flight plans due to icing of the wings. Thank you.
