When we are flying and ice start building up on the wings, we are not having a good day. We want to shed that ice as fast as we can to keep flying.

To shed ice means to get it away or off of the item you currently have it on. We don't need to melt it, just get rid of it. What happens to it after it is off the plane is not an issue we care about. That is the concept of shedding ice.
