Joys of winter #555

@Degbeme

@Matt85 Ugh I hate it I just let the car run until most of it has melted. I know that's bad tho. 😕

@Lilymoon Yeah same. De icer works good but not sure it's any good for the enviroment.

@pdockal yup

@sciguy18 or just turn on your heated mirrors

@Funlov My car isn’t fancy enough to have them.

@Quimliqer yeah I need to get some

@Quimliqer @Lilymoon

When I lived in North Dakota, I mixed up my own "winter brew" washer fluid formula:

1 gallon jug -35 washer fluid, if you can find the -35 formula; otherwise use regular -20 formula

An empty 32 ounce container, with a lid

1 32 ounce bottle 91% isopropyl ( rubbing) alcohol

Pour 32 ounces of washer fluid into the 32 ounce container; tighten the lid, save it for warmer weather

Add 32 ounces of alcohol to the jug of washer fluid, tighten the lid, and shake to mix

The alcohol lowers the freezing point of the mixture.

I now live in Wisconsin, where it doesn't get nearly as cold as in North Dakota. I now use -20 washer fluid here, but I still mix in the alcohol.

The ice storm that coated your car was/is rather rare in North Dakota, but heavy snow is very common there. I have lived here in southeast Wisconsin since 2017, and we have had a few heavy snow storms here - just yesterday, as a matter fact - and my "winter brew" mixture works really well.

@MrBrownstone really?

@Lilymoon Yes

@samueltyler2 for sure..

@Lilymoon be safe!
