I know it's been mentioned before, but I'm surprised someone doesn't 
make a heater for yagis. Sure, it would cost something to engineer and 
market, but yagis are expensive too.

Considering yagis are made of hollow aluminum, I would design a forced 
air heater to blow hot air through them, both boom and elements.

Or you could live in the desert. No icing, no tornadoes, no hurricanes, 
no floods. Just the occasional earthquake.  :-)
