I got iced up with a broken de-icer one time over the mountains flying north along the Oregon Coast. I was stuck in the goo and wondering if I would ever get to stand on the ground again. Wx report was way off that day and my concerns became very narrow for a while, but I managed to work with the controllers and get down into VFR and finally found a place to sit until the weather got a bit better. We even got a nice meal out of it. I only had to wait a few hours that time and no harm was done other than scaring myself and crew silly for a few extremely long minutes.
