THE PILOT RECEIVED A FULL WEATHER BRIEFING APPROXIMATELY FIVE AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE DEPARTURE, WHICH INCLUDED AN AIRMET FOR ICING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA. THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE TAKEOFF, HE RECEIVED A WEATHER UPDATE AND WAS GIVEN FOUR PIREPS ABOUT MODERATE TO SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS ALONG HIS ROUTE OF FLIGHT. HE REPORTED HEAVY ICING CONDITIONS DURING CRUISE AND EVENTUALLY ADVISED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE. THE PILOT WAS THEN CLEARED FOR THE ILS APPROACH. HE REPORTED THE AIRPLANE HAD TWO INCHES OF ICE ACCUMULATION AND WAS ACCUMULATING MORE.
