re: Fastest ways to get hardened snow off your windshield?

Cold water man...boiling might crack windshield. Defrost high

I use a pitcher of warm water and pour it on all affected windows. Go get another if I need to repeat. Works great for me. Turn windshield wipers on for 3-4 swipes only and head on down the road.

what a dumbass. Lucky you didn't crack your windshield

Turn car on and blast defrost. It will help loosen the ice. The scrap with a credit card, preferably one you don’t use

ice scrapers or anything that pushes snow around.
your arm even works. i can't tell you how many days i was late to school because i was slinging and smashing snow off my car's windshield.

my brother and i might be the only people in louisiana with ice scrapers that our mother had installed into our cars alongside our "trapped in the mountains" survival kits.

Boiling water.

Yeah, no.

But I've used lukewarm water at least 100 times, no problem.

Defrost running from the inside while scraping with a plastic spatula.

for about 20 min too. dad always says, "don't test your wipers yet!! you'll break them! oh my gosh daaaaahd."

you're becoming one of my favorite poster lately. my mother still lives in the appalachian mountains where we learned how to drive on 2 lane roads that wind through the mountains in sleet or snow: spider ridge. (very scary)
i'm just saying that we don't need our survival kits anymore. i think she checks our trunks every time she comes to visit.

Pour diesel all over your windshield before it snows. It will either slide right off or you can light the diesel. It won’t hurt your windshield cause diesel doesn’t get hit enough to burn glass.

boone is a little rural for us.
but you're in the right area.


eta: my brother was laughing at how slow people were driving even in the neighborhoods. we're like, "HEY MA! GRAB THE CHAINS! i'm going to soccer practice!"

I admit when I was culture shocked and had to live up North. I used water from the kitchen sink as hot as it could get and it worked. (I don't think boiled water would be wise)
