Re: snow in march
waves back...yes, I did have you in mind...do you still have that picture taken from inside the mustang on the daily commute?
Whats wrong with keeping a push broom handy at home?, thats what I use anyway to quickly sweep the snow off, it only takes about 10 seconds. You might be amazed what you can see then, maybe even the cruisers

Re: snow in march
Our truck was parked and unused for about 10 days over Christmas. By the time I needed to drive it there was about 18" of snow on it, frozen solid. It took 3 half hour journeys and a substantial rise in temperature before it shifted, at about 120 km/hr on Hwy 1

I don't have the Mustang one to hand but the Toyota windows also ice up on the inside while driving. They need constant scraping:

Not nearly as scary, but I do enjoy your blog, sort of like "wingfield", with sarchasm. Fortunatley we are not so rural as to have to lug our own garbage about.

<waves again>
This morning there was heavy falling snow. I knew I wouldn't be able to see forward so I just cleared a six inch square in front of me and a slot on the two side windows which I used to guage my position relative to the roadside hydro poles. After twenty minutes or so the wipers grind the windshield clear, not that I can see anything even then. The rear and side rear windows don't clear all winter.
The worst of it is stop signs. Winding the door windows down to see if there's anything coming lets the cold into the car.

Surely a real man in a convertable would be driving with the top down. Possibly wearing a bobble hat but definately with the top down?
