When I (Texan)lived briefly in the northeast, I loved cleaning all the snow off my car. It was so novel and so satisfying to watch it come off in layers. Especially using the ice scraper on the frozen bottom layer...

A few years after moving back to Texas, we had an unseasonably and record amount of snowfall. I'd kept my window brush/squeegee/scraper, so I ran around my apartment parking lot, asking everyone if they'd like the snow off their car. Some people would see me gleefully cleaning a car, and they'd get excited, saying that they wanted to try it. Enough people wanted to try, that I just left them the scraper and told them my apartment number. A few hours later, there was a knock at my door, and my scraper was outside and 95% of the cars were completely clean.

I guess the moral of the story is to fly in some Texans when the snow gets that bad? I dunno, I just wanted to share.

Bye!

Sounds like a Tom Sawyer move.

Daggum, I sure love painting this fence! I HOPE NO ONE FINDS OUT HOW MUCH FUN I'M HAVING!!!

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I will admit that there is a strange satisfaction to brushing off snow.

Thick frost however? That's just torture.

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Freezing rain. There's a special circle in hell for quarter inch thick freezing rain.

I recognise the irony, but the fires of hell don't burn as hot as my hatred of scraping freezing rain.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

That’s such a cute story. It reminds me of when I go to sweep the floor at work and curious kids ask to try using the broom. Hell yeah, little dude! Let’s turn this chore into something fun!

The number of clowns in Canada who drive around after clearing the minimum amount of snow necessary to drive their car and see out their windsheild. Beyond lazy

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Its not just canada, its anywhere that gets snow regularly. I've lived throughout the northeast US and there's these idiots everywhere.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 46 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

The person in the screenshot has cleared their entire windshield instead of a minimal viewport, that's above average already

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

"Entire windshield" is a very generous description. There's still quite a bit of snow that seems to mostly have been pushed around by the wiper blades.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Clear is clear bub. Looks like amateur hour though, no blue streaks from the 2 liters of winter washer fluid needed to melt the wipers free first.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 6 points 14 hours ago

Swedish police started considering snow on the hood, windows, or roof as "unsecured cargo" and issuing fines of 1500kr (~€150). Repeat offences can cost you your licence. We'll see how much of a difference it makes. Can't say that I've noticed any particularly bad cases this winter.

And then there's this guy...https://globalnews.ca/news/6377799/bc-rcmp-want-to-talk-to-driver-about-questionable-snowmobile-transportation/

As indicated in the article, this feels like a very Alberta solution to no truck

Lived in Massachusetts for a decade, it ain’t just Canadians lemme tell ya

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Anywhere there is snow there is people too negligent to clean it off properly.

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The worst is when the back window is covered with fluffy snow and you can see that there's a rear wiper. Like all you have to do is press a single button but apparently that is too much.

[–] guy@piefed.social 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Lmao that wiper is frozen stuck to the windshield

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

That's why I said "fluffy snow". Fluffy snow does not freeze wipers to windows.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It can if it rained the night before. Ask me how I know. (I do clean my car far better than most people, I've had trucks blanket my entire windshield before and fuck doing that too someone else).

Anyway though yeah I've found out the hard way my back windshield wiper don't wanna move at all even after a light dusting lol.

It's all fun and games until you brake and the whole thing slides down and covers the front windshield and you can't see anything. Source: I was lazy about this once, but never again.

[–] ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago

Nothing the wipers can't handle 🥴

[–] BootyEnthusiast@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That rear suspension is holding up pretty good imo

[–] notabot@piefed.social 25 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Only because it's frozen solid!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

That car is being held together by the ice.

There's a rotting pumpkin on their doorstep and a brown Christmas tree in their living room.

I'm certain the coil springs appreciate the weight. I'll laugh if the bed snaps off the cab.

[–] mech@feddit.org 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's a safety measure.
More weight over the rear axle improves traction.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

And if someone hits you in the top rear your good to go.

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 9 points 22 hours ago

No self respecting Canadian is going to drive around with a road hazard on their roof. Unless they're from Brampton.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Looks like they just pulled out of that snow bank behind the truck to take a picture because they were surprised it stayed in place.

This car looks like it wants to invade Narn
