Seriously. I get the hose and get the plane nice and wet with well water that is at least in the 40s, probably closer to 50. After a few minutes, the plane is also in the mid-40s and of course the frost is gone. Clearly this won't work if ambient is below the freezing point and is a bad idea if you don't let most of the water drip off before beginning your taxi run to blow dry the remaining water.
