So who all got slammed by this lovely ice storm last night/today? I definitely did. We have 1-2 inches of ice covering everything. Pretty, but makes things quite difficult.
Sadly, this lovely ice mess got my car. I went out a few minutes ago to try and get it off, while its still light out so I dont have to deal with it at 7am tomorrow, but no luck. I let my defroster run on high for about 20 min and then attacked it with my super-special-double-edged ice scraper, and it didnt even make a dent. Its solid.
Okay, so I'm a bit goofy here but I'm concerned about this! What if I put salt all over the front and back windshield? They use it on the roads, so it might help melt it, right? Any other ideas? I dont want to spend an hour tomorrow morning trying to get this off right before work. I have a feeling we'll be going in on time.
I hope everyone is safe and warm inside their houses. Its nasty out there.
