Narrative:
THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHILE DESCENDING AND BEING VECTORED ON THE LOCALIZER APPROACH, THE AIRPLANE ACCUMULATED MIXED BUT MOSTLY CLEAR ICE. HE EXECUTED A MISSED APPROACH, SUBJECTING THE AIRPLANE TO 'EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO ICE CONDITIONS.' ON HIS NEXT APPROACH, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED 'DETERIORATION OF PERFORMANCE RESULTING IN A NEAR GROUND STALL AND HARD LANDING.'

Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the landing. The weather and ice accumulation on the airplane were factors.
