Whoa -- thanks for the source, Glatt!

Windshield scraper? The hell with that, someone get a blow torch and a hammer.

I've been thinking about this -- how would you get your car out of that? Chances are high that temperatures won't get warm enough during the majority of the winter to melt enough of the ice and permit some of those people access to their cars (such as the Jeep with the wire antenna enclosed in several inches of ice!). Dump lots of salt, maybe? And what damage would the ice do to the vehicle, if any, besides a dead battery if you couldn't get inside to start it after sometime?

Crap. Now I have that song stuck in my head.

The church bell chimed, 'til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald...
