Another question is whether you can fold the wingtips at all after landing in icing conditions. I don't know about Boeing, but AIrbus says not to retract flaps/slats if icing is suspected. Would this also be the case for the folding wingtips? Could you risk having to de-ice before taxiing to the stand so that you can fold the wingtips in and be within the wingspan limits?
