Narrative:
On the way to tvc; we listened to the ASOS (tower was closed) and the weather was 200/8g13 10 SM. Once we were stable on the approach we realized that the crosswinds were a lot higher than the ASOS had reported; we experienced turbulence and as we continued getting close to the runway the crosswinds were still stronger than expected; I decided to go around for the safety of the flight. On the way up to 3;000 feet we picked up a lot of ice; later the controller cleared us to climb to 4;000 feet and we were still picking up ice. I called to get a higher altitude to stay clear of ice. We were very busy. I determined that if vectored for another approach the ice accretion might exceed the deice capabilities of our ice protection system. As a result I decided to return for my alternate. I sent a message to the dispatcher informing that we were going back to [departure airport]; unfortunately I did not have enough time to relay more information to dispatch due to the short duration of flight. I think it was the safest and best thing to do; get more fuel and try again.ASOS weather report a crosswind completely different than actual wind.
