ICE SCRAPER

http://canadianhomeworkshop.com/weekend/ice_scraper.shtml

As I write this, is just finished snowing and dropping about an
inch of snow here. The weather people say the highest it's gonna get
today in still in the 20s. But, being in central NC, it's supposed to
be above freezing tomorrow, and the rest of the week, during the days
that is, still below freezing at night. This should about do it for
winter. LOL

I missed the original posting, but say it's not worth the effort. We
had -27C night before last. A garage means no scraping, but if
caught outside we run the heater and window defrost.and back window
electric defrost for a few minutes before scraping. Saves a ton of
effort, and less damage to windshield and wiper blades. I have a
$1.50 hard plastic scraper I've used for the past 3 years, so it saves
on the scraper as well.

Hmmm. A brass blade. I completely destroyed a plastic credit card as
I used it to clear my windows. As a bonus, I saved a lot of money.

Hi JOAT,

Enjoy your warm weather. At 7 degrees this morning, it was 19 degrees
warmer than when I went to bed last night. We have had about four
inches of snow in the past three days, with more expected every day
and night this week.

My son is at Fort Bragg, and he was also boasting about your 20 degree
weather when he called last night. It was about 8 below here at the
time. It's 17 above right now, but expected to drop below zero
overnight.

Heh heh. I am. Born & raised in Michigan. Never more, never
more. I'm about 40 miles from Bragg, used to grocery shop there, I'll
wave to your son if I see him.
