The phrase "it's cold enough to snow" definitely rings true during the winter months. Most people admire the beauty of the ground blanketed in white, and enjoy making snow angels and having snow ball fights. Yes, snow is all fun and games until you have to drive somewhere. Cleaning snow off your car is tiring, physically demanding, and a downright pain in the neck. What choice do you have? You know you have to go to work, or get the kids to school. Grab your shovel and layer yourself in warm clothes, this is how you dig yourself out of a storm.
- Allow yourself plenty of time to clean the car. If you know you have to be somewhere by 8:00am, plan to start cleaning your car at least an hour prior.
- Clean off the drivers side door and the surrounding area. This will prevent snow from falling into your car when you open the door.
- Start the car. This will help warm the car, thus melting the snow and making it easier to remove.
- Use a brush to clean the hood of your car. Avoid using hard objects so that the car doesn't get scratched.
- Clean the windshield.
- Clean the windows so you can see when driving.
- Clean the back of the car.
- Remove as much snow from the roof as possible. It is dangerous to other drivers when you leave snow on your car roof. When the snow flies off it obstructs the view of other road-goers. In some cities it is even illegal to drive with snow on your car roof.
- Remove ice from the windshield wipers to allow them to work properly.
