With the recent heavy snowfall and ice storm, drivers and
pedestrians have become more aware of the dangers of ice and snow
flying off of vehicles. Cars that are parked outside
overnight can have large accumulations of snow, which can
become packed and hard to remove. Add an ice storm to the equation
and the snow becomes an ice block. Even if there's no snow in
sight, an ice storm can cause sheets of ice to form on your
vehicle.
Of course, it goes without saying that all ice and snow should
be fully cleared from your windows before taking to the roadway.
Driving with reduced visibility that prevents you from seeing
through all the windows of your car (not just your windshield), as
well as your rear-view mirrors, makes for a very dangerous
situation.
