It was the middle of a very heavy snow [storm] and strong winds. We made it to the de-icing pad and were de-iced and had anti-icing applied (100% Type IV). I noticed on the way to the runway that the side cockpit windows were still snow covered. In fact; they did not do any sort of de/anti-icing of the front of the aircraft. I told the Captain I wanted to call back to the de-icing crew and ask them about it; but the Captain said it didn't matter. So we took off after I did the wing inspection. As we accelerated in the climbout; we hear numerous large chunks of ice fly off the airplane; loud enough that I wrote the airplane up and told maintenance they needed to do an aircraft inspection after landing.  Upon further reflection; I am sure they did not de-ice the fuselage.  With heavy; wet snow falling; they should have.
Air carrier First Officer reported noticing their aircraft was not properly de-iced; but the Captain disagreed and decided to take off.  Reporter stated that during climbout possible 'chunks of ice' hit the aircraft resulting in maintenance inspection.
