How much icing can the MD 90 take Doug? That sounds like you were dealing with alot on that ilsapproach. If severe icing is in the forecast do you have to divert to a different aiport or wait until the severe icing is gone before your allowed to take off?

Not supposed to fly in severe icing!
Actually, once we start picking up anything other than light icing, we'll generally try and get out of it even though we're capable of lumbering along with the wing/engine anti-ice activated.
I'm not really sure how much the -90 can take because basically, once we see a trace of ice in the cockpit, we activate the equipment.
