Alex always warms up frozen cars at least 15 minutes.
After freezing rain, wire lines tend to break due to the weight of ice riding on them.
Ahhh.....this is what photographers call "the effect of depth-of-field".
You do not see snow here. Believe me, this is worse than snow condition.
Alex does not scrape the ice because doing so ruins the paint or the glass.
Since ice here is as rough as sand paper, Alex uses hot water.
Now this car is all "clear" to go, after hot water treatment and 15-min warm-up.
Alex does not take the risk to dirve if windows are not clear like this.
MY FRIENDS IN MIDWEST... TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR.
STOP SCRAPING AND SCRATCHING THE ICE OFF YOUR CAR.
USE HOT WATER ON ICE WHILE HAVING THE ENGINE RUNNING.
APPLY HOT WATER ON WINDOWS, WIPERS, AND WINDSHIELD-SPRAYER.
YOU MAY ADD ANTI-FREEZE TO WATER TO ENHANCE THE APPLICATION.
