Hmmm...I'm not sure that a wet radiator would make a difference...any water would be above 32F and slush would be at 32F and sublimate(?) - convert to vapor or, if there's enough of it block the air passages at freezing temps or sightly below....no, then the heat of the solution in an operating vehicle would melt it. Anti-freeze is mostly for radiator/engine not running and exposed to below freezing temps as well as to increase the boiling temp of the solution (added effect along with the pressure of the system) when in operation.
