Ice storm in Texas!

When I got off of work this morning at 12:15AM my windshield had ice on it. I had to use the ice scraper. It was Terrible! Just terrible! Terrible I tell you!

Mine's a piece of Lexan I made. Ground a 45* angle on it. Wrapped tape around the end. I'm a cheapo. LOL

I have the tape, duct, of course, but no lexan, since I don't build airplanes. Plus, I gave my grinder to my neighbor.

I'd imagine the store bought scrapers are more efficient, and ergonomic. But there's just that special something between a man and his home made ice scraper. A special bond, indeed. LOL

Yeah, I can see that being the case for a man that drives a black truck with wheels that have funky grey spokes.
