Narrative:

Cleared for NDB-a at 3400 ft MSL. Temperature at russellville ASOS was +5 degrees C. About 9 mi from NDB, light clear ice noted on struts and ATC was informed. At 5 mi from NDB, ice turned to mixed and an evasive 180 degree turn initiated. I informed ATC of the turn, the icing conditions, and my decay of airspeed due to icing. ATC and subsequently lit approach handled me well and the ice was gone upon arrival at lit. I elected not to land at intermediate airports. I called FSS about 2000 ft and discovered they did not have the PIREP or knew of the icing! Suggest ATC communicate safety of flight items with FSS regardless of how busy they are! I called FSS supervisor who stated he would talk to ATC en route (memphis) and suggest same.
