Pam cooking spray was recommended by one of Roffians for de-icing guides.

Mine has never complained about the cold so I haven't even worried about it.

Padishar (I think) mentioned the Pam cooking spray for the guides.
For the line, well, if it's that icy, I'd say just go home before you
false cast and it shatters...

Or you could try running it through some absorbent material as you
reel in each time. Cotton or wool or sheepskin, maybe with a bit of
Albolene on it. I'd guess (uneducated guess) that you'd not want to
make the line warmer. It'd get cold again as soon as it got in the
water. This could easily lead to plastic fatigue, known as cracks and
checking of the line. Not a good thing.

I know you've taken to fishing in a way that I never will, though I do
enjoy it, but your winter will not last long. On the really ugly days
take a clue from me and huddle over your heat vent, typing on your
computer and snarling at the weather. Do some extra credit projects
for your courses. I have the feeling that you could really get into
tying flies. This is a good thing to do in the cold weather.
