Snow removal

[Sodium Duck]

Bob - 2 awesome tips. I really want to buy that snow broom. Looks like a great investment!

The windshield cover, I may just use a trash bag or something and prop my windshield wipers up. I've done it in the past at times when I knew we would be getting an ice storm and I didn't want to scrape the windshield in the morning.

I did not learn about this trick until I moved to the Reno/Tahoe area but it is wonderful. Along with a combination ice scraper and soft nylon brush thing with a padded rubber grip and a small snow shovel (to dig myself out of the ski area when they have to plow the parking lot after I arrive, or in case I ever get stuck in a snowbank on the drive over the mountain to work) I end up with more snow under the car than on it.

Ever since I added the OEM mud flaps on the amount of snow that accumulates under the car has diminished by a fair amount, though.

Good to know.....I have a set that I was going to install when I change over to the snow tires.... I was concerned if they permit MORE build-up of ice in the wheel wells.
