Tony,
Pitot heat will not be part of the equation in the UK as the CAA have specified
that the new IR permission for Permit Aircraft will specifically not include
flight into known icing conditions, nor flight near thunderstorm activity.

navigation devices go dim when you tip turn it on, so you can keep it upright,
but you can't any longer go anywhere anymore, with any certainty? It's all
a bit problematic. Fly a Groundspeed until visual, yes, that could work, but
not for sustained IMC flying.
