OK, it looked like he had on an OSU sweatshirt, but I didn't recognize where it was on OSU's campus. Makes sense now.

The ice was a pain. It took me over an hour to scrape it off my wife's car on Tuesday. I can't wait until we get our new house with the 3 car garage built this summer.

did you try scraping the ice without turning on your car? it should only take 30min max, including the time to let your car warm up.

No, I'm a total idiot. Cars don't exactly warm up real quick idling when it's 14 F outside.

I would love to have seen you remove 3/4 inch thick ice from the windshield, rear window, and side windows in less than half an hour without damaging the car. This wasn't snow, it was ice.

Haha last year at Junior High I went skipping around in the cold for 10 minutes helping people scrape ice off of their windows because high schoolers are usually too dumb to carry an ice scraper in their trunk or glove box.
(Texas)
Half of the time we get sleet, and half of the time its light snow that usually melts when it hits the road.
