Narrative:
Although icing was forecast we launched in a non icing equipped C182. This is a classic case of get homeitis. As expected we hit some icing and ATC had to give us lower and lower altitudes until we got down to 5000 ft. At 5000 ft the ice fell off and we were in the clear the rest of the way.
