When the confounded weather guy is calling for freezing rain. run out to the driveway with your can of "PAM" from the kitchen+ spray the windsheild + side windows to keep the ice from sticking to the glass.

Sometimes it's stuck so hard you can easily break a polycarbonate ice scraper. It's takes a good 20 minutes or more to get the heater warm enough for the ice to let go, with the defroster running full-blast! Do any of us ever allow enough time in the dark winter mornings to get everything done before leaving for work.I find its good to extra time to watch the news + weather plus coffee before leaving for work, then theres just enough time for morning wintertime routine.

FYI, if you try to do an incomplete job of clearing the snow + ice off you car a cop will stop you + further your morning commute time (usually resulting in a scolding). Driving with just a "peek hole" will also earn you a scolding. "N.H. Murphy's law"[ it will melt away only after the cop has you stopped long enough to make you late! It is law that you must remove all the snow + ice from your roof + hood to prevent it from sliding off your roof at stoplights and obscuring your vision also to prevent your warm engine under the hood from depositing your slippery mess at an intersection. Its hardest to clean appropriately if there has been wet snow frozen as a rough surface on your hood holding more layers of snow on top of it.

Long handled snow scrapers RULE!

Question Just curious!

Not to sound stupid, but I've heard (remember i'm in louisiana, please ) that you can use a can of warm cola to help release ice from a windshield... do you know if that really works? Not that we have any ice, but I plan to be in NH before tooooo long to maybe need to know...
