Happened across this video of a different technique to remove snow from the wing during takeoff. Guess the pilots saved the company some money by not using deicing fluid.

if it's well below freezing and the snow is just powder i could see how speed alone would be effective. ice is the biggest danger.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
[IF] these are Mexican pilots, they just say:
"De-icing fluid, señor? We don neeh no de-icing fluid!"

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Thankfully, we have laws about de-icing here in the US. This is also why I don't fly in Russia.

I do not understand what the big deal is, If there was ice under the snow it would soon melt off in a worst case scenario anyway
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

It's like we used to say on Alert - if something happens on takeoff, you can't safely abort, and will likely end up as a fireball at the end of the runway. That sucks for the crew in the airplane, but the hot air rising of the fire will give some added lift to the aircraft following along behind.
