Cold weather flying.

I flew the Longitude last night from Key West into KFCM in the Minneapolis area to see what could weather flying would be like.  I did a couple flights trying to catch the snow fall, winds, and low visibility.  What I found is landing at normal speeds with full flaps (between 155-145kts) was impossible.  I had to have my landing speed at more like 175kts and that still wasn't quite enough.  Even though I had the wing ice on the plane could not enter short final at normal landing speed.  I was actually light concerning weight with only 20% fuel.  So my question is under cold weather conditions is anyone else experiencing this?  I haven't had a chance to test other aircraft but the Longitude sure has a problem. If this is universal then the over done wing icing effect is more of a problem than just visual and the boots need to kick in a little stronger.

I know, a wing icing problem should have the aircraft falling out the sky but this is a sim...  I hope this is just a Longitude problem as two things would have to be worked on in the sim in general, wing heat effectiveness and icing actually causing the aircraft to be unflyable.
