safe snow removal?

Well, its snow time again. My truck is covered with lovely white wet crap. Anyone have any safe ideas on how to get the snow off the paint without scratching it all to hell. Before anyone gets any ideas no im not going to drive really fast and hit the brakes or take corners sharp so those arent options. Thanks for the input.

Dan

I have a snow broom that I use. It has a very soft foam head on a long handle that I just sweep the snow off with. Haven't noticed any scratches and I've been using it for 4 years.

I wear gloves, and use my sleeve to swipe the snow off. Haven't scratched anything yet. Just make sure your jacket doesn't have an snaps/buttons/metal stuff exposed!

This thread is sooooo funny!!! I'm sorry for laughing at all you poor saps up in the snowbelt, but I'm sitting here in a short sleeve shirt enjoying the beautiful weather. I think it's dropping below 60 tonight for the first time this season. it was a tad cool today, only went up into the 70's since the front passed through last night.

Warmth year-round is for pansies... The change of seasons are fantastic. Nothing better than a crisp fall evening, a blustery winter day with beautiful white snow blanket on the ground, and a naked hot chick by the fire with you. Hot-tubbin' in the snow rocks as well. God bless the mid-west! Winter & all...

ooops, I was mistaken! It's down to 57 and supposed to be down to 45 by morning! How cold does it have to get before I get frost on my windshield?
