Thank you GG. It sounds as if what is really needed is a drive-through huge hangar heated to such a temperature that all snow and ice are completely removed and the wings dried completely. That is just one of my fanciful ideas and would probably have the energy saving brigade up in arms at the thought of it. Having said that, when I was a District Midwife my car often got soaking wet and/or freezing in winter but a quick visit to the local Ambulance Dept which was beautifully warm usually solved the problem. Warmed me up too especially when I could scrounge a cup of hot coffee.
