They do that a lot when I'm around. :confused:

 

I imagine they do, Mr. Leaf-Blower!:lol:

I find that honking the car horn repeatedly causes just enough vibration to clear a peep-hole sized spot on my windshield to see through. When the ice is really thick, sometimes I crank up the bass on my radio to aid with the honking.

 

The neighbors congratulate me just as Watusi's neighbors!

What I really like to do is pull out in traffic, use the windshield washer, and then spread it with my frozen wipers that I didn't have time to break the ice off. Then I get a nice layer of slurry evenly distributed across my windshield. It's like driving while trying to see through your bathroom window.

Take the time to clear off more than a small hole. You should have clear vision on all angles! Get 3 kids to clear it off while you wait in the house. Works for me.

I have a tonneau cover on my truck, and with rain or snow, it creates a low spot. Overnight, that puddle freezes and you should see if fly when I hit a bump at high speeds, or when I take a corner real fast.

Letting your vehicle warm-up nowadays, can cost a bundle. Scrape small hole to peer out of and go.

 

I have a hard time believing it's more expensive than replacing a wrecked car because you couldn't see in traffic.

The method I used on my truck was just to power break it for about a minute straight, caused the engine to warm up much faster causing the snow to blow off, the neighors would also come out and let me know what a great job I was doing with a fist pump, I guess they are missing there thumbs because they had to use another finger...

You guys are so full of great ideas. :banana:

My wife wasn't too happy this morning. I thought that if you left the windows down that, since the inside and outside elements are the same, there wouldn't be any ice on the windshield. Not sure what she was mad about, the windshield didn't have any ice, who cares about the driver's seat?

 

Maybe next time before I leave for work I'll pour warm water on her seat to melt the ice...

Why do it yourself when you have healthy kids to clean off that ice and snow?

Never thought I would see the day you would have such a blonde moment!

I'm thinking the next time it snows, I might just Taser my car and see if that works. :lol:

Speaking of blonde moments.............

Has anyone tried the ole put a towel/rug on the windshield? I think I could get away with doing it as I live in the redneck part of town.

The rug works best if there's a skid free backing. Otherwise, the moisture dampens the fabric and it freezes to the windshield. There's the slight issue of the backing that sticks to the window when you rip it off, but you can usually see around it if the chunks aren't two big. Of course, there's the option of coating the back of a towel with petroleum jelly. That is great for two reasons: 1) The towel doesn't stick, and 2) Rain beads on the windshield and you don't really have to use your wipers. It really can save you a good $40-$50 a year!
