You shut down at the end of the runway and do an inspection if you have to. Though in the planes I fly we have set procedures in our ops specs to do a contamination check before takeoff without exiting the plane. Generally if your building ice/snow on one part of the plane on the ground, your getting it pretty equally across the airframe.
