Circumstances
The airplane was vectored in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) for a VOR Runway 18 Approach to the destination airport. The pilot reported the airport in sight and was cleared for a visual approach. During the descent, ice had accumulated on the flight control surfaces, which was visible to the pilot.
Flight Sequence
On final approach to a 2,627-foot runway, the pilot elected to execute a go-around. She initiated the go-around because the runway appeared icy, and she feared she would be unable to stop before encountering a fence and a highway at the departure end. The pilot intended to land on a perpendicular runway after completing the go-around.
Outcome
The landing gear and flaps were retracted, and full power was applied. However, the pilot was unable to maintain flight, and the airplane subsequently landed in a field located beyond the highway.
