DURING THE VOR RUNWAY 36 APPROACH WITH A CIRCLE TO LAND RUNWAY 27L, THE AIRPLANE BEGAN PICKING UP MODERATE ICING. THE PILOT HELD HIGH AIRSPEED AND MADE A LOW STEEP LEFT BANK TURN FOR RUNWAY 27L WITH NO FLAPS USED FOR FEAR OF A TAIL STALL. THE AIRPLANE EXPERIENCED A STRONG AIRFRAME BUFFET AND LANDED SHORT OF THE RUNWAY 27L. INSPECTION OF THE AIRPLANE AFTER THE ACCIDENT REVEALED 1/2 INCH OF ICE ON THE WINGS AND TAIL SURFACE.
Probable Cause: the pilot-in-command's abrupt maneuvering during the circling approach. The factors involved were the airframe ice and fog.
