Sensor assemblies and methods of de-icing or preventing ice formation are provided. Compressed air may be supplied to a vortex tube. The vortex tube may separate the compressed air into a first stream and a second stream, the first stream hotter than the second stream. A sensor body may be warmed by the first stream, and the second stream may be directed away from the sensor body.
