Next time this happens, consider not only landing flapless, but
touching down at well above normal stall airspeed, basically doing an
airliner (or floatplane still-water) style flying-to-the-ground
landing. The pitch angle won't be so high, and you won't be at the
mercy of the possibly nastier stall characteristics with ice on the
wings. You would need a longer runway.
