I hate scraping my windows. I have been known to drive the first few miles peeking through a small square of windshield until the snow blew off and the defroster loosened the rest of the ice stuck to the glass. Even when I had to park on the street I owned vehicles that were different from what my neighbors drove.

O, Woe is me!!
Nah. But I could link them if you like. . . . . .
I have lived in cold places, where water turns solid outdoors all by itself with no refrigeration equipment, even falls from the sky like that, and it's goofy as hell. I like it here!
But we have our own issues. . . . . Driving along in the car on a cool humid evening, come through a downhill turn toward a creek, and the windshield suddenly goes opaque from condensation, like a cold coke bottle. It's scary! Really!

You can keep your tornados, floods, & 99F/100% humidity. I'll visit my sis in Pace when the weather's good. SoNah. But I could link them if you like. . . . . .

yourself :lol: It's much more fun to watch the dog get frustrated as she tries to squat in the back yard, when the snow's already as deep as her butt. We finally took pity & let her out on the drive in front. (This is what it looked like AFTER shoveling 20" & more came)

No kidding.Warchild? Iggy? SOMEone?!
He obviously hasn't warmed up his car when it's -30, cleared off JUST the winshield and attempted to drive to work.
As soon as the snow starts blowing off the hood and hits that hot heater core with the fan on full blast - POOF! the *INSIDE* of the windshield frost over instantly! Great fun first thing in the morning heading east into the sun.
You ever have to scrape the inside of the windshield?
Thought not.
He probably doesn't know NOT to clean the road salt off the windshield at night either. Leaving it on makes it so much easier to scrape the frost 'n snow off the windshield in the morning.
He's probably never experienced having to sit at a light after it goes from red to green because theirs so much exhaust steam from the other cars you can't even see past your hood.
:assassin: is right.
Ask SkooterG for help, he'll understand. :rofl:Warchild? Iggy? SOMEone?!Nah.

I like the little snow buttresses over the side mirrors in Check's pic. That's cool!!
And FWIW, I do remember a day like that when Dad had to call in because he couldn't dig his MGB out of the snow. Our road was a cul-de-sac and didn't get plowed, just adding to the problem. This was in Baltimore in the '67/'68 winter. Our street went downhill into the woods at the end of the street, so sledding was awesome. I was 10 and had no place to be when school closed, so who cared how cold it was?
Here's Street View of that neighborhood, we were the next-to-last townhouse on the left, and if they closed the road the picture is taken from, we had the hill you see if you turn 180 degrees to run down in sleds. Then try to stop before you hit a tree at the bottom! Some kids would try to run down Church and make the turn, so that first house had lots of yard wear from sleds!!!
That Street View is cool, because the townhouses were just built in '67, we were the first family in ours, and those trees along the street weren't there then. It's much different with the forestry along the road! Looks like there's armco across the end of the road, too, which wasn't there in "my" day.

Always start your car before scraping! That way it'll warm up from -20 to -5 before you take off. :cold:
