Narrative:
While climbing through FL250 we received a 'duct fail' warning message. Complied with QRH; which included leaving icing conditions. While in cruise determined to continue to destination because of the weather conditions in our area; the fuel we had available; and the weather conditions at the possible diversion airports.) we felt that with the fuel we had available we were unable to fly to an airport where we would not encounter any icing at all. We decided the best course of action was to declare an emergency as a precautionary measure and continue to our destination. We flew the approach and landed without further incident.
