De-icing ...

as a cautionary note .. occasionally the de-icers get it wrong.
I refer you to the BA46 incident at CDG circa 2005, when the aircraft was mistakenly de-iced with 100% water.
An aircraft following it in line for departure noticed large icicles forming on the tail and informed ATC.
Aircraft returned to stand.
