At fsd, the pilot obtained a standard pilot weather briefing from the huron afss and filed an IFR flight plan from fsd to rapid city, SD (rap). While enroute from fsd at 6,000 ft MSL, airplane icing was encountered. In an attempt to vacate the icing situation, a climb to higher altitude was requested. While unable to climb above 8,300 MSL, depart the icing conditions, and maintain sufficient airspeed, the pilot requested a nearby airport with a long runway from the minneapolis air route traffic control center (mpz ARTCC). Clearance to mhe was obtained and N10ET was cleared for an approach at 2043UTC (CDT+6). During the VOR approach to rwy 12 at mhe, the pilot was unable to see the runway due to ice on the windshield.
