Narrative:
IFR departure from ashland or. Instructed to pick up clearance at oed VORTAC, some 20 mi north. Intercept V-23, climb to 8000. Started picking up much ice and intercepted and flew correct radial, only sbound instead of northbound! Center gave a clue ('1 mi north of airport' -- it should have been more) but I was doing my corrigan act. Center turned me around a few mins later. If there is a lesson, it is distraction -- ice and gauges caused a loss of focus on whether heading was north or sbound.

Title: PLT OF SMA ACFT ENTERED IMC WITHOUT A CLRNC AND DID NOT FOLLOW ATC CLRNC ASSIGNED.
Narrative: IFR DEP FROM ASHLAND OR. INSTRUCTED TO PICK UP CLRNC AT OED VORTAC, SOME 20 MI N. INTERCEPT V-23, CLB TO 8000. STARTED PICKING UP MUCH ICE AND INTERCEPTED AND FLEW CORRECT RADIAL, ONLY SBOUND INSTEAD OF NBOUND! CTR GAVE A CLUE ('1 MI N OF ARPT' -- IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE) BUT I WAS DOING MY CORRIGAN ACT. CTR TURNED ME AROUND A FEW MINS LATER. IF THERE IS A LESSON, IT IS DISTR -- ICE AND GAUGES CAUSED A LOSS OF FOCUS ON WHETHER HDG WAS N OR SBOUND.
