I couldn't have said it better myself but (and this is what is so frustrating in this) Skyway management (and Dispatch) seem to think that having a holdover time means that it is 100% safe to launch into the stuff and they aren't about to let anyone change their mind. They are pitifully ignorant that there is a DRASTIC difference between "known icing" (for which the aircraft is certified) and SLD.
