its been a bit cold over here

god knows why instead of trying to find ways to melt the ice, he decided to attack it with a hammer and chisel.

I'm thinking warm (well more like tepid) water, de icer spray, salt, hair dryer

all sorts of things that would melt the ice and reduce the need to smash my rear window and probably wreck my paintwork. He'll have scratches all over it.
 
Yea its been cold.

-15c daytime highs plus a much colder windchill with 2+ feet of snow in north Ohio where I was last week.

Blowtorch is the way forward, you'd be tere forever with a hairdryer! ;)
 
I think it's failry obvious what happened. The pipe leaked (and wouldn't freeze because the flow rate was too high), and as people drove through the puddle, they kept splashing water up on the side of the car and it became layer upon layer of ice.
 
Read this this morning, but he didnt chisel his way in thru the back window

When Pete, the owner of the vehicle, was finally able to get into the car to run the engine and warm it up, the heat inside the vehicle combined with the ice outside caused the rear window to shatter.

That was happening to some traffic cones on a bend where water sits here.

Was pretty cool to see how much it had built up each day from getting splashed.
