The Ice Master Multi-Blade Ice Scraper is the one you need,..

Wonder if Pan spay would work, keeps the bugs off,.put some old carpet pieces over it if you have no garage.

Last week I was at Marco Island what a change...

I'm in St Louis and for the first time ever we have a Blizzard Warning. They are calling for up to 15 inches here and 2 feet just a bit north west of us. Sleeting hard now. Just went out and scraped off the truck and put plastic grocery bags and rubber bands around my mirrors.

I'm just across the river from St Louis and it is nasty right now. Wife went to work at 4:30 and the roads were almost dry here then. This crap has moved in fast. I don't know how the main roads are, but from my house to the neighborhood exit is by all practical purposed, impassable. Hope she can get home. If we don't get some snow down, I wont even be able to go get her if necessary.

I would take a bunch of snow over this ice. Hopefully the next round doesnt move in to fast, from the indiana homeland security site they are slowly issuing warnings, I hope marion county doesnt turn red or I am stuck here :(

That's awesome!

I remember doing that as a kid a few times coming back from the out door rink! (small town)


Bet they need a good sharpening now though. ;)

Yikes, they are saying we may have 1/2" of ice here by middle of tomorrow...last time we had something like this about 15 years ago a whole bunch of trees and utility poles came down and it was all messed up with power outages and streets closed for days...great! I remember trying to get home from work and whichever way you turned there was either a tree or pole in the road or it was all jammed up with crashed cars and/or impassable ice conditions.
