You do that with the windshield wipers to keep them from freezing to the windshield?

Yeh, so I don't rip the rubber off the blades from scraping. Hoping to see tomorrow if my leaf blower will knock off some of the snow.  :icon_thumright:

When I let the dogs out a while ago it was pure ice coming down. High winds tomorrow but I believe it's going to warm up a bit.
No plans on going anywhere the next few days so I'm good.

I just couldn't resist.  Worked great on the snow.  Not so great on the >1 inch of ice on the windshield.

Be careful.  Hot air or hot water can cause the windshield to shatter...
