Fozzie Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 -6 Where I am currently. Got to drive in about an hour, and the ice on my windshield is a few mm thick. Thank god for Fords heated windshields. It spends all year disrupting your field of vision, but comes good 5-10 times a year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who I might add now bitterly regrets not listening to me 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I borrowed a fiesta last week for a weekend and it felt like the screen was smudged the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 It was -12.1 here. Twas a tad chilly getting my wife's car ready for work. Any attempt to limit the gas bill was blown when the boiler decided to go into self preservation mode and switched itself on. All the controls are off but the house is like a sauna. Lovely, but expensive. I suppose that's what comes of sticking the boiler at the far end of the garage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, newer ones are better but you soon get used to not looking at it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a crazy world where it costs more to heat your house than to buy it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_M Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 It’s been a consistent -3° to -6° For the last week in this bit of Cumbria. The river Irthing has mostly frozen over at Lanercost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However yesterday when I had to get to site, I turned it on and within 2 minutes, a thick 1-2mm of ice was defrosted. That said, I do think a tactical bottle of tepid water would do the job fine. Had it for 3 years so thinking of changing in the year year. Always annoys me that they heat the windshield, but didn't run a trace heat line down the screen wash pipe. You defrost your windscreen, drive for a few minutes and go to wash the now salt covered screen and nothing. I'm running a really strong mix of screenwash, but it never seems to stop the nozzles icing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I was happy this morning. I only had to de-ice the outside of my car. Every day this week the inside of my windscreen has been frozen over 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
