My ice scraper has a long handle so you can reach most of the way across the car with it. It also has a brush to brush away the ice you've scraped or the snow that's covering the ice you're about to scrape.

I have a telescopic ice scraper since I have a midsize SUV. It extends to around 5 and a half feet and heavy duty. Snow blowers are awesome! After so many years of shoveling I broke down 10 years ago and bought a snow blower and can honestly say it is the best thing ever.

[@davidcosta2244]

Snow Blowers are fun too. Except when the snow is too heavy, because it doesn't flog that far.

It's not a wind shield, but a ski mask.

1 - You think THAT snow blower is cool? Cities have ones as wide as a road mounted to trucks for clearing streets 2 - 1961 or 1962 I lived on RAF Upper Heyford, Oxford Co. It snowed so much and the wind blew such .. that snow drifts touched the eaves on the one story homes 3 - You want wind and rain and sleet sideways? Go to Hohenfels, Germany in the Winter. (it was my firm belief after three years in Germany is that the Germans kept invading other countries so they could get better weather)

[@Blondie42]

Dunno why he called that mask face shield it's a balaclava or more commonly known "ski mask"

[@dead-claudia]

i wonder if "face shield" is what they call them in the uk?

[@SnowmanTF2]

Seems like a generic term that brand might use, to help try and extend number of use cases niche items like this are for. Plus after covid 'face shield' seems more associated with clear plastic things that covers your full face.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

we call them balaclavas too, not sure where Lawrence got faceshield

Texas Reporting in⭐️ Snow in our north West and higher elevation area ie El Paso. Southern part of the state almost never. North Texas is Dallas. We frequently go through snowless winters, but worse than that we have ice, again rare but when it does it cripples the city as not safe to drive. Otherwise most of the winter is mild and comfortable.

[@thomasbeauchamp3781]

Living in upstate New York, I learned that when you park your car for the evening, turn on your windshield wipers until they are most of the way up then put a towel over the windshield and pin it in place with the wipers. The next morning, any snow and ice will be on the towel. Take it down, shake it off and put it in the trunk and you have a clear windshield.

Even though I am from southern California I have used everything on this list when up skiing, everything except for a snow blower. A face mask works wonders in the cold wind and suprisingly a hot desert wind. The difference is, instead of blocking out the cold wind & ice, they can block the sun, wind, rocks and sand.

I've heard of belaclavas I've seen them a lot in UK crime shows. I grew up in Wisconsin and we always called them ski masks. They were usually knit with bright colors and crazy designs. Lawrence's mask makes him look like a hoodlum. I haven't had a pair of gloves in like 20 years. If you scrape the car windows quickly you don't need gloves. I haven't worn snow boots since I was a kid and the school forced us to wear them. We wore rubber boots that slipped over our shoes then they buckled up the side or had a zipper. I can see where Lawrence has to use all this equipment, he didn't grow up with cold weather. Heck the only time I close my winter coat is if it drops below 0 F.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Hi Mom. I can imagine you out in the winter cold chopping firewood. 😁 Snow shovels have many uses around livestock that have nothing to do with sow. .

[@arminiusgratis9439]

Every morning in the town of Fairplay Colorado during the winter the temp. was usually 10 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit). I would take a pan of cold water outside and pour it over the windshield to remove the ice. Do NOT use warm or hot water. Quick and efficient.

[@UnlicensedOkie]

We had a snowdrift over my dad's semitutruck in our driveway, during the blizzard of 1978 here in Ohio (USA). Missed 5 days of school ( woohoo and uncommon for days of that long then). Snowblowers are always to have. Must have good boots, coat and gloves.

[@duanelavely5481]

I live up in the mountains of Idaho. I have several different snow shovels depending on the task. I built an apartment over my garage with an outdoor staircase. While the roof covers the stairs, snow will blow under the eaves & build up on the steps requiring both a shallow & a deep small snow shovel. Then there is the large snow shovel for open areas. However at 77 yrs. old, my doctor phones me every Nov. to tell me NOT to go up on my roof to shovel the snow off. We both agree that if I were to fall off the roof, I wouldn't bounce as well as I used to. When the snow gets to about 4' on my roof, I start to worry about the weight. To reduce shoveling, I bought a snow blower with a 205 cc engine, 6 forward speeds & 2 reverse. They can throw your snow up to about 50'. Snow storms come off of the Pacific every 2 - 3 days during the winter. I have a small 3/4 acre lot. I snow blow my driveway, extra parking area & down both sides of my house so I can access my dogs' fenced yard & takes about 2 hrs. If you don't remove the snow from the dogs' fence line, eventually it will get up to the top of the fence & the dogs will just walk out. Last winter my snow blower broke & I had to drive 60 mi. to buy another blower. They weigh about 250 lbs. "Across the Pond" forgot to mention another necessity that I use when the snow gets too deep. That is my chain saw! Some yrs., the snow builds up along side of my house from 2' - 5'. Much higher than my snow blower. I then get out my chain saw & cut the packed snow into blocks or chunks & either pitch them with the snow shovel or run them threw the snow blower.

[@michaelcitrak9977]

Once I scrap the iced off the windshield (and all of the rest of windows) I used a squeegee with a handle that's about foot and a half to two feet long to scrape off the ice...it's really cool. :-) Also, as best as I know, the law of the land is we need to scrap off all (most) of the snow off our vehicles before we drive, the long handle squeegee is great to do that. If you don't clean off the snow off your vehicle then as you drive down the street the wind blows the snow off and so it's "snowing" on the vehicles behind and sometimes large chucks of snow fly off and attacks the vehicles behind you.

[@JILL0704USA]

Our snows are so huge and heavy we have to have a truck with a plow clear our driveway; a snowblower, even a meag-huge walk-behind like the one we have, isn't powerful enough to clear the end of the driveway after the streets have been plowed. The street plows plow in the opening of our driveways when they clean the snow off the streets. The neighbors all pretty much use the same plow service as we do; once someone gets a plow out to our part of the county, just about everyone will hire them to clear their driveways. Winter isn't even here yet and I'm already looking forward to spring🌷🌹🌻🌳 CHEERS!

[@davidcosta2244]

What's really fun is to work second shift, so you snow blow your driveway, and go to work, but when you return home, your driveway has a mound in front of the clean driveway, because of the plows pushing snow throughout the day. So, you need to shovel youself back into your driveway when you're tired from working, and just want to rest.

[@creinicke1000]

When I was a teenager and college student.. I wore the boots, mask, gloves.. because it was required to survive. As a driver.. the snow shovel and the other dirt shovel were always in the backseat of the car.. to dig out. A snowblower is vital.. but also very dangerous.. sort of like a wood chipper.. and folks lose fingers, hands.. ect.. every year because the blower gets jammed and.. well you can guess the rest. Best thing a neighbor can do for you is to snowblow your driveway for you if they know you're at work and not getting home till late.. othersise you might not be able to get into your driveway if the snow plow already came by and Plowed 4 ft of snow in front of the driveway!!!

[@merlinathrawes746]

I remember the first snowblower my father bought when I was about 15 years old after we moved to a more rural area. The fairly long driveway would get bad snowdrifts in a couple of places. Dad wound up getting another snowblower the very next year. Why? The first one was SMALLER than the snow drifts so the drifts had to be cut down with a snow shovel so you could use the snowblower. After I moved away from home Dad got another, even bigger, snowblower, that was self-propelled with treads rather than wheels and a windscreen to protect him from blowback.

[@jackiebuchanan3024]

The bit on snow shovels reminds me of my childhood growing up in a suburb of Chicago--not too far from where Lawrence lives. A snowstorm would inevitably pile up a drift across our front door, pinning us in the house. My mother used to pick me up and push me through a window (I was little then), hand me a snow shovel, and it was my job to clear the snow from the door.

[@russellkeeling4387]

It depends on what your intentions are whether it's called a balaclava or a ski mask. If going to play in the snow we call it a ski mask but if we're going to do some night operations we call it a balaclava.

[@TheTeaIsReady]

They aren’t super common but in areas where snow is very common like east of the Great Lakes you will sometimes find heated driveways. This is a dealbreaker for me😅 Only way to live in the area imo lol.

[@mizztab3677]

Think there should have been examples of the ice scraper difference. My favorite ice scraper was about arm’s length with brush and different scraping blades also had an extendable brush to clean the roof and hood. Got the extension brush after having a bunch of snow slam down the windshield onto the hood when I stopped at a light. Nearly gave me a heart attack and really worried it would break the windshield.

[@AC-ni4gt]

I live not far from the Great Salt Lake and have suffered the heavy downpour of snow from lake-effect snow. Illinois, where Lawrence is at, has lake-effect snow. Lake-effect snow is super annoying to clear. The only people who're ok with it are the snowboarders and skiers in the mountains.

[@troyshilanski380]

Oh jeese louise, i hate winter. 2 years ago here in buffalo NY we had a blizzard on christmas eve and didnt have power back until day after christmas. Here we can have the mildest winters, or that bullshit 7 feet of snow. Ya never know.

[@jrafel1707]

Sometimes the snow shovel just doesn't cut it here in America. I live in Illinois and one winter we had a storm where it dropped 18 inches ( almost a half a meter) of snow in one night with winds blowing so strong that if you or snow plows cleared it it just drifted right back. When we looked out in the morning, I think every bit of the 1/2 meter of snow from the field across the street blew right up into our house. The snow literally came up to the peak of the roof on 2 sides. It took over a day to whittle that 25 foot high drift down using a snow blower to take it piece at a time and wait for the avalanche so you could continue making the top lower. The street had to be cleared with City Back Hoes that would scoop it into a truck to haul away. The plows couldn't handle it. A shovel then? Ha!

[@DennisRabidue]

Umm we have car starters in our alarm fobs , all you do is leave your defrosters on high and push a button from the warmth of your house and voila her car is warm and no ice on the glass !

[@Howie-du7ov]

To keep the snow off of your front and rear car windows, just cover them with a large beach towel. In the morning remove the towels and viola, no more snow on the windows.

[@Trifler500]

A snow blower is very much like a rototiller, except it blows it out the top, instead of just churning it and leaving it. My Dad actually had one that could convert between tilling and snowblowing.

[@63steelwolf]

For my northern friends. You need to come down south in the spring. For some dumb reason, the Lowes and Home Depots will receive snow blowers to sell. well guess what, come spring they are always on clearance trying to give these things away.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

I had never heard them called a face shield. I call it a balaclava as well. There are all kinds, even neoprene ones. We have a snow blower. If you want to see a really big one, look for a video where they show clearing out mountain passes. They are unreal.

Laurence was being remarkably lazy to not retrieve his ice scraper from the car for this video. They're small and weigh only a few ounces. How about showing us one? Trying to wrap my head around Brits referring to something as a "balaclava" (pun intended -- it's a head wrapping), but I guess that term actually has British roots. It refers to woolen head wrappings worn by British soldiers during the Crimean War, specifically the Battle of Balaclava, to keep from freezing their ears off. Seems a bit bleak to name a garment of clothing in honor of this. It needs a new name, like perhaps "thermal hood." I've never heard it referred to as a "face shield" anyway.
