I think they should shut down all the Lockmarts and just contract you to give preflight briefs, Scott.

Same question - How about KTTF in southeast Michigan? Icing aloft?

If I remember correctly, Marfa is just shy of 5,000 ft elevation. You are in the colder air behind the front, so I don't anticipate a temperature inversion. So, a ceiling of 1,500 feet and a dry adiabatic lapse rate of 3°C/1,000 feet, I'd say you've got a pretty good chance of icing in those clouds (above 7,000 feet MSL) with a 2°C surface temperature.
