Oh come now Jim. The OP stated the initial reason for the delay was weather. After the mechanical issues were dealt with, the plane still needed de-icing. Are you to tell me that in the interim there was a tropical heat wave that blew past the airport allowing other aircraft to take off without going through the de-icing regimen? I'm calling for a reality check here.
