If it's too much for that, at least you'll have a thin layer of water between your car and the snow so when you push it off by hand, it'll glide on the surface of the water and not scratch your paint.



I was looking for the video where the dumbass kid was doing a burnout and kept calling it a camUro.

I am just shocked he wasn't redirected to camero5.com

Oh and yeah, it's hard not to scratch your car getting snow off your car. Windows only Yes. Highway--No.

It should be a law that you have to clear all the snow off of your car.

Just had snow for the first time few days ago. A lot of it melted, but for the rest I took a bucket of warm water and poured slowly so the rest slid off.

Which begs the question: How did the OP get to this site in the first place?

My suggestion as a fellow Masshole: Let her sleep during the winter. She doesn't need to know anything of the cruel mistresses known as "Snow" and "Salt". Okay, probably not a practical solution to your situation but there's plenty of other good answers so far and thankfully this winter hasn't provided much of an opportunity for you to do any damage.
