I trust that the pilots will look at the potential for ice (yes, wings can be icy at 41 degrees, especially if the sun is not out) and properly respond in those cases. Better to wait for it to melt than to risk flying with iced wings.
That's exactly what they did. Said they didn't have the machine, so we had to sit and wait for the "ice" to melt.
