Rhondee, where did you buy that at? I am in dire need a such thing because I use my credit cards to scrape up the ice.

I do have a garage but don't keep my car in there because the radio antena on top of the car might break going in and out. It's not the foling type.

I think I spent more than 10 days this year scrapping ice with many more to come I'm sure.

Even ONE day of scraping ice is too much!

There is such a thing as an ice scraper, you know. Only costs a few bucks. But yeah, the windshield cover is a good idea too.

I'd say around 20, sometimes 25 depending on how conditions fluctuate from year to year. I live in Greensburg though so we might get different conditions than in the immediate Pittsburgh area.

Yeah, I don't know where people are getting these "only 10 times a year" numbers from because it feels like I've had to clear off frost, snow, or ice every morning since mid-December.

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering where that "10 days per year" figure came from. It seems like I have to scrape my windows every other day. Maybe Polish Hill is just the secret icebox of Pittsburgh?
