May I ask why you would want to take off from a contaminated runway? If you do take off, and an accident ensues, there will be an enormous amount of evidence that you have done the wrong thing, and your only response will probably be that it was commercially expedient.
So that would be wait for summer the the nothern Nordic regions! Biggest problem in my experiance is with crews flying in these conditions without both specific training and a great deal of experiance of extream wx ops.
