" Ours, too. We've taken to driving to the airport immediately after a
snowstorm, just so we can clear the area in front of the hangar door.
(Our
first year here we didn't know to do that, and there were days when we
literally had to use a hammer and chisel to chip away the ice, just so we
could open the door. It was frozen to the ground!)

Exactly. And when jumping into the plane after this workout exercise, the
body sweat promptly converts to ice on the windows ;(.

After two such experiences I started to change into a dry T-shirt and
sweater before entering the airplane. No more problems with ice on the
windows.

One final admonition regarding cold weather flying. The weather can change
pretty fast from sunny to low clouds with risk of icing. Be vigilant. I've
twice run into sleet or freezing rain before even clearing the pattern, when
the weather still looked OK on the apron.
But as I said, on a clear day winter flying is a great experience.
