I had a new job on top of my to-do list yesterday morning.


Ice and frozen snow on the screen, snapped my scraper jabbing away at
it, so I poured some tepid water on it and hit the wipers upon which the
blades promptly tore from the arms.

Rule one. Always check the blades ain't stuck to the screen before
switching on. You can check this by lifting them off the screen against
the springs while scraping etc the ice off.

I just run the engine with the heater, screen and rear window demisters turned on and the heated seats. An advantage of living in the sticks. The other car has a phone app which allows me to preheat the interior on preset days at preset times or immediately, which is equally delicious
