Oddest darn thing... I've been living here since '86, and have never had to scrape frost off my windshield. Neighbors on both sides do, regularly.

I'm on the south side of a [small by western standards] mountain, in the woods (as are my neighbors), but outside of that I could be anywhere in suburbia. Never found an explanation for it, but I'll take it!

Thats interesting.

My wife's car is usually in the drive with some tree cover and my truck in the street with none. A lot of times she has no frost and my truck is caked. Hmmm.....

Yep, that's been one of the theories advanced here. I have significantly more canopy over my driveway/parking area than the neighbors. I don't get dew on the windshield in warmer weather, either.

Can we patent this?

Re: Not Already!


Someone gave me the bright idea to cover my windshield with a piece of carboard so i didnt have to scrap it. Well on night it rained then got cold as chit and i had a piece of cardboard super froze to my windshield. So now i just spend the extra couple bucks on deicing wind washer and douche it every morning.

Hey, Intel tried it with the 386/486. Didn't work, so they came up with Pentium.

All we need is a new name for trees.

Don't "bastard" me. I shipped a case of 5 gallon buckets your way full of sunshine via UPS. You should get them in 2-3 business days.











OF COURSE it's C.O.D.
