All antennas made it through just fine. The ice didn't all come off as
expected: some came off as a sleeve, which was a bit scary because as
the sleeve slowly slid off, the loading moment increased and things
drooped even more. The good news is that there appear to be no permanent
deformation of any booms or elements. Yippee!
Ice certainly is an effective dielectric loader, not to mention structural.
