Welcome to the midwest.
tiderfish
Does the towel trick work? Seems just crazy enough to work. At lease the ice will come off with the towel
AbstractBettaFish
We used to get band winters like this in Chicago, now thanks to global warming, I’ve only had to shovel my parking space once in 3 years!
cupofwine
Convincing the bf to move from Australia to Canada... these memes don’t help
StrategicWeaponsPlatformNineAndThreeQuarters
GOOD THING YOU PUT THE WIPERS UP
bflobob2004
Make sure to change you blinker fluid to winter formula.
Flyndaran
On my run wearing a ski mask, two shirts, and ultra thick mittens I passed by some fucker in shorts and one shirt. Canadian or Martian?
Poprocket77
Good thing I put the wipers up.

This was in front of my patio door last year:
Catfoood
Gaming?
greatgreenglobsofgreasygrimygopherguts
... I think you mean "boys don't grow up, they just get bigger." plz send your snow to Tahoe, CA thnx <3
FruitSkywalker
kids were playing outside in montreal, because it's not a snow storm anymore, right?
bendoverrover
Internet probably went out.
trikucian
*turns head to right to look out window* yup, still snowing. *sigh*
kungfufil
#17 They didn't remove the snow back then. Hard to compare properly.
LoveHavingRidiculouslyLongNames
Come to Nova Scotia. We've had barely any snow this year. :(
Virq
In defense of shorts and sandals, you get REALLY hot when shoveling that much snow. Hard work.
procrastinatingfromreallife
I'm guessing you don't ski
xecs78
If you move to Victoria, B.C., you’ll hardly see snow. If it snows over 5 cm’s there the city will shut down. Also, lots of babes there!
Marieforestr
That seems accurate right now on all accords.

circlejerkofhate
what kind of pussy bullshit is #6 i would kill for number 6
Noobgamerdude98
I live in Alabama, Southern United States, and it was 81°F Ferbruar 23.
ivanahumpalott
With my experience. Do NOT put your windshield wipers up.
omgwtfhuh
Why? We put ours up if it's ice or light snow expected, but not for heavy/wet snow.
thirdgen2k
“Fun” fact—people climbing Mount Everest end up getting sunburned on the roofs of their mouths!

BansheeFortyfour
#3 that's no lie, I have been sunburnt in mid winter
TheBestRussian
That’s the downhill skier look. Burnt dark brown face with anemic white around the eyes where the goggles are
FeralPuppy
Interesting fact: it's advised to wear sunscreen when in the snow (if you're irritatingly extra) because the UV rays bounce off the (1/2)
FeralPuppy
(2/2) White of the snow. This is because of something like all light reflects off of white or smth. Idk I'm just a lazy teen on imgur.
TheYellowKnives
As someone who has studied physics, it always shocks me how little most people know about our universe.
zampano
It was 70 F in PA this week. I haven't even touched a shovel yet
WellThatsOriginal
We in the real north no longer like you!
EGOT
Yeah but what was it like for the entire month of January? My parents still live near Scranton, they said the oil bill was through the roof
zampano
SmallHandsBigPenis
It was 79 where I am in PA, but that’s gone now. Also I’m from Maine so I don’t like tease the northerners too much.
flamingling
Nearly 80 in Florida. We have crazy people, but beautiful weather.
RelartOfGivia
U-huh, and like being on the surface of the sun in summer.
flamingling
Miserable in summer. I vacation away from here; head north for cooler temps.
benjerman
Does that idea of putting a bucket of boiling water on a windshield actually work? 50/50 on trying it.
TheTopPalmTiger
Works perfect. Will clean your windshield too.
benjerman
I now realize my mistake. And also recognize that I asked for it. At least it’s Friday :/
nombre11
I do it most morning's. If be late for work allot if I didn't
MesserAuditore
The extreme change in temperature is uh... not ideal... for the glass.
benjerman
Many thanks kind sir.
filben7
Not boiling but hot water works just fine.
HelloMyNameIsHuman
I've done this with hot water. The only reason I did it was not knowing any better and ice was to hard for scraper. Didn't shatter tho!
Lifesuckswearahelmet
If the windshield is not chipped.
sirbartonslady
better if it's lukewarm, not hot. Still not a great idea though, especially if it's still really cold outside because water re-freezes
zampano
Also put screws in your tires for traction and change to winter oil
27yoUGLYvirgin
Change blinker fluid while you're at it.
powershit
Drain the coolant too. Coolant is only for the summer
zampano
No you put it in the gas tank to keep the fuel from freezing
powershit
Before or after replacing the super blades with sandpaper? Gotta get through that ice right?
JaydashCub
But there IS winter oil!
AliBarber
No NO NO NO. Hot water on cold windshield will shatter it.
IDisposable
Yes. We know.
LuminoZero
Heat makes things expand, cold makes them contract. Change too rapidly and the thermal stress shatters the glass. Physics is fun.
Remy2089
Physics is not fun. Observations of it, maybe. But not physics itself.
LuminoZero
As an engineer, I disagree.
FreelanceSpermDonor
AliBarber
Well yeah considering most of the others were true
EACustomerService
That meme would fit if there was a joke there. Making someone laugh and costing them hundreds are 2 entirely different concepts
mfats123
Alighierian
Apparently luke-warm water carefully poured on does work, but then again, that was also internet advice, and we all know that's 120% truth.
Angrynortherner
No, it does work. My mum always does it on cold mornings and she's never got a crack. Boiling, no. Warm, yes.
Beepity
Don't worry, it'll cool down to just-about freezing by the time it gets there.
travelintimeinc
Nice try. At least the towel one really works.
thatwoodguy
My wife uses a plastic protector. It would work, if she actually used the fucking thing
TherealNotSid
Yeah but make sure the towel is soaked. Just damp might not cut it.
Hamncheezsandwich
It's easier to use a dry sheet or towel, btw. Wet Things in winter freeze in unpredictable ways.
genericname2107
Subaru has a de-icing package with heating strips in the lower windshield so you never have to lift the wipers or worry about ice. Nice!
Crazyjemjem
Trolling.. winter style. :)
gangsta0tech
Ssh let them figure that out. Some people just has to experience things to learn.
banthis
did you know you can recharge your phone by putting it in the microwave
Rkfinecake
Yeah sure why don't YOU experience the effect of sandpaper on your wipers to scrape off the ice? The internet doesn't lie, after all.. (j/k)
filip00
1. Take a dictionary, 2. Look up "Sarcasm"
pdhackley
That’s a lie.
bongles
Ha, have fun with that one
AliBarber
Prove me wrong.
pdhackley
Sarcasm and have enough sense to live in a warm climate.
MightyMouseTech
So, you have no idea what you are talking about. Got it.
AliBarber
Sarcasm isn't obvious in writing and I live in a sub tropical climate. I'm still aware of it and I'm not an asshole to random people online.
FingerMeat
Ive seen people experimenting with italicizing every other letter to indicate sarcasm. It works decently well.
ObliqueRay
What happens if you leave the wipers down?
ChoccoMilk
I have had mine freeze to my windshield. It’s a delicate game trying to get them off without breaking them.
Anonawesome
Then don't activate them until they're thawed. Running them over ice ruins them quickly anyway.
ChoccoMilk
I never turn them on when they are frozen. Plus why would you turn them on when the windshield is still iced over?
Anonawesome
Exactly, so why leave them up?
ChoccoMilk
So you can avoid the hassle of unfreezing them altogether.
