Preflight planning for icing conditions can be quick and effective. If there is a chance you may encounter icing in flight, take the time to develop an icing avoidance and exit plan before you depart. Although you cannot develop a plan that completely eliminates the possibility of icing, appropriate choices made on the ground can greatly reduce the risk of encountering icing in flight.
