Who likes winter but hates scraping ice off your car?
I love the cold weather, but I really don't like having to scrape the ice off of my car before I go to work.

Car's warming up, gotta go to work soon. Stay warm today!!

1. I keep the Jeep in the garage.
Mrsazemisery gave me a garage door opener for Christmas some years back. I asked for it. I love it.

5. What is this "garage" you speak of?
I know some who have them, but I've never heard of keeping a car in one. :D

7. Before I got the garage door opener...
you couldn't even walk in the "garage". After I got my present, I cleaned out the entire garage. Since the Wrangler goes in there every night no one can fill up the spot before I get home. :)

You have to understand we also have a 40X40 barn that used to be inhabited by horses but we had to sell them so all the stuff we need to save but will never use goes there. OBTW, I am the pack rat in our house. ;-)

2. I dare you to find a person who -likes- scraping ice off your car.
And what's with those small hand held ice scrapers too? They're designed to get as much snow in your gloves as possible.

8. Not the ice so much,
but I do actually enjoy scraping the frost off. It's such a smooth tactile experience with an immediate and readily visible payoff. After that, the day goes downhill.

3. Fortunately, here in North Georgia, I don't have to scrape ice too often. n/t

4. I have a remote start on my car, so I just pre-warm it.
I wait until the car warms up before I even step out of the house.

6. I don't mind scraping the car, it's the ice on the steps and sidewalks that's driven me mad
this year. I'm so tired of walking along and then having to catch myself. Sure footing is underrated.
