What better way to do that than by sharing a winter weather hack that you might not know about?
How to Prevent Your Windshield From Icing
One of the most irritating things that come with winter weather is having an ice-covered windshield. Sure you can go outside earlier than usual and warm up your car, but that's just a waste of gas. Of course, you can always scrape off the ice from your windshield, but it's too cold to be standing outside scraping all of that off.
So what can you do? Well, when you see that freezing temps and winter weather will be coming, stay one step ahead of it. All you need to do is go into the kitchen the night before and grab a potato, cut it in half, and rub it all over the windows on your vehicle.
According to the Farmer's Almanac,
The night before freezing temperatures, rub a half of a potato over your car’s windshield. The sugar from the potato creates a barrier over the window and prevents ice from forming, so you’ll come out in the morning and won’t have to scrape!
There you have it. A super easy, cheap, and effective way to keep those car windows from being covered with ice in the morning. Oh, and that's not the only food-related winter weather hack.
