In the winter, you need to take special care of your windshield if you want it to make it through the winter damage free. Here are a few tricks for taking care of your windshield in the wintertime.
#1 Use A Scrapper To Get Rid Of Ice
When ice forms on your windshield, don’t use the edge of a credit card or razor blade or any other flat-edge device to get rid of the ice on your windshield. Instead, invest in a proper ice scrapper for your vehicle. You can easily pick up an affordable ice scraper at your local dollar store or your local department store, especially during the winter months. In fact, it’s a smart idea to have at least two scrappers so you have a back-up in case one breaks and you have an extra one to use if you have a passenger who can help

A credit card or razor blade may remove the ice from your car, but will more than likely leave behind scratches on your windshield and damage the glass.
#2 Let Your Car Warm Up
You may no longer need to let your vehicle warm up to get the engine going on most modern cars, but that doesn’t mean you should skip the routine of letting your car warm up when it is really cold outside.
Allowing your car to warm up while in your garage or driveway when it is really cold outside allows the glass in your vehicle to slowly warm up. Slowly warming up is best for your glass; it can crack due to shock if you try to warm it up too quickly.
As your glass warms up inside of your car, ice and snow will start to melt and frost inside of your vehicle will dissipate. Allowing your vehicle to warm up before driving it is a great way to clean up your windows, inside and out, before getting on the road.
#3 Remove Snow from Your Car
If you live somewhere where it snows often, don’t let the snow pile up on your vehicle. After the snow falls, even if you have no intention of driving, go outside and remove the snow from your

Driving in winter is better than driving in the summer, because you get most windy. Summer is better to drive and because you don't have to worry about the rain taking over your car. Winter is better to driving because you don't have to worry about this a shiny your freeze while you're driving. Summer is better to drive and because you don't have to worry
The similarities and differences between driving in the winter and in summer are numerous. Cars get us from point A to point B, and shelter us from the elements while we do so. Some cars may do a better job at sheltering us comfortably than others when environmental factors come in to play.
You really can't avoid the snow either. You go outside for a couple minutes then you leave a trail of snow wherever you walk. then you must shovel up all the snow that has just fallen outside. After one hour all the snow will have built up again. so it is a continues cycle of shoveling until you decide to just leave but if you leave it gets built up and stepped on until it becomes ice.if you try to get rid of the snow with ice it ruins your sidewalk. since you have to use so much of it.In chicago not only is it cold but we have records. in 1985 it was -25. we also have the average snowfall of 36.6

The films we chose to compare and contrast in our analysis are Rear Window and Disturbia. The movie Rear Window was released in 1954 whereas Disturbia was released in 2007 53 years apart. Rear Window is an Alfred Hitchcock movie while D.J. Caruso directed Disturbia. We chose these movies to compare because both the films have similar story lines and it is generally known that Rear Window influenced D. J. Caruso in the creation of Disturbia. Our comparison concludes that while Both the movies might look similar on the surface, they are two distinct films created to cater to a different set of audience. In our analysis we will compare the elements of genre, plot, male gaze, semiotics (class & technical), mise-en-scene, voyeuristic scopophilia, among the other aspects of the movie.
The representation of women in Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Rear Window” indicates he wants the women in his films to be seen negatively. In using the feminist criticism approach, it is evident that there is a contrast in the way the genders are portrayed throughout the movie. The character Lisa Fremont is a great example of the way women are depicted. Lisa is constantly trying to get Jeff to become more involved in their relationship. However, Jeff treats Lisa as a distraction, and during the film she is not treated in a positive way. The way this relationship is portrayed makes it seem as if Lisa is trying hard to get Jeff’s attention, yet he is the only one that has the power to define the relationship. From a feminist standpoint, Hitchcock’s
Pressure on the ice reduces the melting point. If pressure is afterward reduced, water will freeze again. This is called regelation. When a player skates across the ice, he or she applies a lot of pressure, leaving a trail of water where the blades were. Because the pressure leaves quickly, the water freezes to ice again (Haché 22). Nevertheless, pressure is not the only factor that causes this melting. Friction also takes part because it creates heat. With help...
Snow is a concept that only a few people really know about. It seems like most people hate snow with a burning passion. However, the true northerners praise every day that it snows; mostly because it does not happen a lot. At one point everyone that participates in a snow sport has to hope that it will snow every winter. Unfortunately, our hopes and dreams do not always come true. That was why snowmaking was developed in the 1980s and has been upgraded every year so maximum snow production is possible. The first reason was to fill in the gaps that Mother Nature left out. However, now the amount of snow we receive is drastically less than what it used to be. Instead of making snow to fill in the gaps, we have to make most of the snow we ski
At first the author paints a picture of a small village or town that is getting hit by a ice storm. The narrator shows how cold it is by commenting, “But the freezing rain kept coming. Tree branches glistened like glass. Then broke like glass. Ice thickened the windows until everything outside blurred” (Heynen 1). From this the reader can tell this isn't a regular snow day. Tree branches are freezing so much that they are just breaking like glass. Also the windows have become translucent from how thick the frozen ice is on them. The narrator also states, “Some farmers went ice-skating down gravel roads” (Heynen 1). The gravel road is so frozen that a person can ice skate on it. That itself shows how cold it is outside in this story. The reader should be able to tell

To begin with, the landing of the snow on the road caused many damages to them. This was because the levels on which the roads were raised were in different proportions. This, therefore, prevented lack of flow to be experienced on the roads. Moreover, the cracks that were observed on the roads came about because of the difference in the temperatures of the country.
Icing, or ice buildup on the wings, is a particular problem for aircraft. When ice builds up on wings, it can disrupt airflow, robbing an airplane of lift and can decrease its angle of attack, which keeps it in the air.
