Hmmm... If I still lived up that way, I'd seriously consider building
some sort of motor-driven antenna "shaker" that would intermittently
oscillate the antenna at one or more of its mechanical resonant modes to
break the ice and snow off of the antenna.

I have no doubt Ralph could do a number on mother nature's wiles, given the breadth of creations from his radio bench. A veritable Mr. Edison!
