It's not just you lomapaseo, but the point is that this kind of thing is not as spurious as losing sleep after waking in the night with an uncomfortable fold under your butt because you were too tired to straighten your bed before you slept.
As soon as duty period begins, flight crews MUST command and control every possible aspect of safety (and snow), not let it drift through the subconscious with the status of an inconvenient chore, or worse still, purely on automatic ...
In addition, with ancillary costs now cut to the bone worldwide, flight crew cannot rely on ground staff capability at many airports, especially at this time of year when in the northern latitudes, many of the deicing crews are new to the task, often mentored by others with short histories/dubious habits or both.
I guess the enemy in all cases is old-fashioned complacency, ably abetted in 2007 in the case of ice and airframes by a generally incomplete comprehension of the possible consequences by those closest to it.
