Rummy,
It makes sense.     I could see the problem of the ice melting at the top
first, where the sun hits it, and it dripping into the cabin.  Meanwhile,
the drains wouldn't work because the ice there would be near the last to
melt.

You shouldn't have much trouble from leaves, but snow and ice can
accumulate. I remember when I first joined the list there was a discussion
about  snow
accumulating in a cockpit to the extent that when it started to melt it ran
into the cabin. This was after many freeze and thaw cycles and the entire
cockpit became a solid block of ice. There wasn't any damage, just a pain to
get
all the ice out of the cockpit. It took several days using heat lamps to
melt
the ice enough to remove it. You couldn't just go in there with a jack
hammer
and break it up. :)
