Was planning to fly down to Block Island this morning because of the beautiful, early fall forecast down there. 67 and sunny, with light winds by afternoon. Here, was expecting to have to depart IFR, no biggie, right? And there is an inversion right at 3000 ft with warmer air above, so no chance of icing, right? Well a quick look at the skew-T for MPV shows that between 2000 and 3000 the temperature is right around 0C, and the T/DP curves join there. Perfect scenario for icing. Easy decision: no go. 
I guess it's that time of year again. Funny, I've never thought ice would be an issue this early in the season, except at much higher altitudes. I guess the weather gods have their own plans. Damn.
