Heated pitot
Even flying VFR, if I am flying below a cloud deck up in the northern states, sometimes the pitot will get moisture or something a little colder inside. The heat drives out the moisture and any inadvertant icing. I have been a follower of Vlads adventures and when he went to Alaska, he stated in his writeup that the airspeed went wacky for a time without a heated pitot tube. JMHO
