With a radome, the ice shouldn't be too much of an issue unless it gets really thick. I had some dished here in Texas that I did not put radomes on, thinking that the one or two days of ice we get a year would not matter. With about 1/2 inch of ice directly on the end of the feed, my throughput went to nothing. I added a radome and then next ice storm with about the same covering of ice had no effect and my throughput remained constant. I would go with a radome with even a possibility of ice.
