Today I heard a peculiar story one of my co-workers was telling. A friend of him was driving in the Fort MacMurray area, in winter at night, when suddenly his truck was hit by something falling. Twice. So he pulled over to investigate and to his surprise the found two duck lying on the street. Their wings were frozen solid, like an airplane on high altitude. After a while he noticed the wings were thawing and the ducks taking off again. I imagine this could happen when flying high, in winter, in a damp (sub) arctic area. Whether the wings can thaw and being used again I have no clue, maybe only if the freezing is superficial. Anyways, plausible?
