Don’t laugh … it’s a really bad day when your car/truck decides to run …but the cab heater has stopped working … on a really cold day at minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius (+14F to -4F in American) … your windshield basically becomes a frosty block of ice that will clear up for a minute after you scrape it before it forms a new layer of frost again.
I drove around for a week continually scraping the windshield to drive around town one winter a few years because of this. And if you are unlucky, police will stop you, ticket you and tell you to tow your vehicle home.
I usually use deicer liquid in spray form directly on the windshield. The ice becomes mushy in like 5 seconds and I just have to wipe it off. But yeah, it’s only -5 to 0 here, so maybe it’s not very effective where you are.
That trick works in Michigan during really cold days too. Granted, you need to buy the nice stuff, I get the rain-x with de-icer (the purple one)
You guys still have to drive to work?
Bro if I’m late, I just have to accept it. I tell my work people that I’ll be late and they’re usually fine with it as long as I say something and show up.
I know that not all work places are as understanding as this, but don’t be stupid if you’re late. You’ll still get there, just not on time.
I don’t get this winter joke
Can someone from a country that gets snow explain this meme?
The problem is not snow, it’s the ice that forms on the windscreen during the night, because of the sub-zero temperatures. It takes time to scrape it off, and if you’re late, you do the bare minimum to see where you are going, hoping your car will heat up and melt the rest before you crash!
They snoozed the alarm so they are late and didnt clean the windshield to rush somewhere
hue hue my lack of discipline is lethally endangering everyone around me so funny hue hue
It’s a cute meme but please don’t do this irl. This is how peoples’ days (and sometimes lives) are ruined.
What are you talking about? I live in Canada and it was 9 degrees © this morning 🔥🌞🔥
It’s been stupid warm this winter.
That’s around 50f for all of us using stupid units.
-35 here in Sweden currently
In Finland we’ve had -5C for like the whole winter but now there’s been a week of -25C. And back to positive next week.
Would a battery powered hair dryer work here? Throw a ton of hot air on it.
That’s how you crack your windshield.
No. You scrape the ice off like a normal person so you can see. It takes 60 seconds.
