Michael, Thank you. Yes, I am asking about carburetor induction icing (however as of writing my original question I didn't know it was called that). As I understand H 36 is not equipped with any carby heat as such and right now 9 p.m. we have 5 deg C and no less than 85% relative humidity. Perhaps I should just take it easy and stop flying until spring time.
