New England Life Hack: De-Ice Your Windshield Without a Scraper
Now that we're ready for some pretty chilly temps this holiday week in Maine, It's time to brush up on some tips, like ALWAYS clean the snow off of your car, and keep that scraper handy!
We've all participated in the annual ritual of digging out the ice scraper from the back seat somewhere, and tripping over ourselves trying to scrape the windows just to get going in the morning.
Rejoice, for I tell unto thee: NO MORE!
Meteorologists at WATE-TV posted this video that shows how to combine water and isopropyl rubbing alcohol into a solution that will never freeze, so you can even keep it in the car!

Who's up for trying this out?
