Cross-posted from “Lots of ice on the car this morning” by @multicolorKnight@lemmy.world in !asklemmy@lemmy.world

It went from rain to snow overnight, got even colder, and froze hard. This morning there were about 2 inches of very rough ice on the car. For some reason, it always collects the most at the bottom of the windshield, right where it’s most important to see. The ice was about as hard as the glass.

I broke one scraper trying to clean it, started the engine and left the defroster on for a few minutes. After driving around for a while, and one mighty crash as the glacier on the roof let go, you would hardly know it was there at all.

I have a garage bay I could use, but it’s full of other stuff, and I only park the car in there during disaster level storms.
