Now, the question is about freezing rain.

Speaking to instructors/examiners, the FAA oral/written position seems
to be that since there must be warmer air above, one should CLIMB.

That is not always the case.

I would suggest the web-based icing course recently put up by NASA at

http://aircrafticing.grc.nasa.gov/courses.html

might give you some more insight into strategy and the risks you may be
taking.
