Do you not have windshield defrost on you car? Let it get sufficiently warmed up and that should take care of it. I've lived in places where it was -40 for weeks at a time, never had an issue with my car not being able to keep up with the frost when it was sufficiently warmed up.

Not sure I can agree with the wind chill they are reporting. It's 19F here now and wind chill of -4. Sun is shining, wind wasn't that bad. I went out and lit a fire in the fire pit and smoked a cigar. I've been in temps -4 or so and this did not feel like -4.

Nothing like rolling out of bed, climbing to a car covered in snow, scraping off a peephole and driving to work like a reckless maniac.

I absolutely despise people who do this shit. Or drive onto the highway with 2 feet of snot on their roof that gets blown on to the road or your car. Lazy pieces of shit.

I will rarely step foot inside my car until it has preheated to a nice toasty 70 degrees.

It's so bad. I've lived in a house with a comfy garage for over ten years and haven't had to deal with that problem but i still remember being a dumb teen driving to my job at McDonald's with my head out of the window so i could see.

I wasnt concerned about money, I was concerned about the insulation saving your pipes from bursting.
