What's your ice/snow removal strategy?

Turn car over. Let car start heated windscreen itself (automagic!)
Scrape just enough ice away from drivers side windscreen to have a vague idea of where I am going.
Drive
Wipe windows after 2-3 minutes.
Freeze o death, near hypothermia while the sodding thing warms up enough so I can feel my fingers.

Yes. First Diesel.
 
Start car, bowl water and a sponge. Nice clean windows all around too, heater warms up really quick, cabin is small and the exhaust manifold acts as a nice seat heater for the driver (no heatshields)

De icer is not required at home, expensive and ruins wipers and rubber seals. In the evening after work a quick scrape with my clubcard is all that's needed

do you think ****** steal from other ****** ? surely they go to the non ***** areas to bring back the good loot !


anyway my de icing strategy is rubbish and probably involves waking up half the street at 5am
 
Walk outside in my boxers and barefeet, wave at the yummy young neighbour watching, scrape ice off, have wash with the ice residue, go back inside, tell wife off because house is roasting, drive to work with window down.

This is Yorkshire! De-icer? Pah, only witches use that Sorcery!

What a Palava.

Start car,
Heaters on full,
Go back inside and eat my breakfast,
Drive to work.

Someone I know did that about 4-5 weeks ago, they got into lots of bother at work apparently when their company car was no longer on the drive but had been involved in an accident about 8 miles away 5 mins later.

When my only neighbours are my own family I don't think I'm that fussed.
 
Either scrape or de-icer, depending on how lazy I'm feeling. Engine on, blowers up on windscreen, pull car into garage so I can open the gates, climb back in try to clear all the bloody mist from the inside of the rear window (need to get those rear door seals checked!), drive car out of driveway, close garage and gates, have a quick vape while blowers heat up, and drive away.
 
De icer is horrid stuff.

I don't think theifs are total morons, therefore at the first bout of cold weather I'd tour some nice areas for complacent people leaving running cars unattended.
 
Put on fleece and woolly hat. Wander down road to local station whilst laughing at those trying to scrape ice off their cars with freezing fingers.

Evening is similar except I get to avoid any problems on the motorway.
