I have never done this... but I can sure see it as useful.
I have put many a tripod away, after getting frozen, with freezing rain.
This would certainly help.
I am sure that there is a better idea, but maybe this will help.

Thanks Nate! I've been buying De Icer the last couple of years. Going to give this a try.
The orange deicing windshield washer fluid is $5 a gallon. I'm pretty sure it is 2/3 alcohol, 1/3 water, and some food coloring.
Don't put it into your dishwasher.
The dangerous thing about any links to Youtube videos is what appears following completion of the subject video. The second time I watched this video one of the two pictures provided of potential other videos to watch was of the Russian actress promoting A T & T. The first time I watched the video one of the two pictures was of a mother nursing her child. I'm afraid to look a third time. It'll probably be a picture of one of the Viagra women.
What, you don't subscribe to the Lou Reed adage to just "Take a Walk on the Wild Side"?
I've got a better idea. Take the dang tripod inside and drink coffee. Freezing rain is God telling you to stop work.
Ah, Ha ha ha!

I was told that the first drop of rain that hits you is God's fault, the second drop is yours for not being in the truck (grin). I have worked in the rain on rare occasions, but they WERE rare.

I can't count the number of times I have. They have a saying in the oil patch "There are no rain days. Just some days are wetter than others." I will say we don't work in lightning. I have worked with it freezing to my clothing. Cutting brush in the rain is also not a good idea, but we've done that too.

Sure now, but 25 years ago it was god telling me to stay until the jobs done to impress the boss:)
When I was using my Kern instrument,with the Kern legs,the bipod type center leg would feeze up.I would piss on it. Worked every time.
