Ice On My Windshield

Alabama is too far south for the weather that we experience at night. It is not meant to get this cold in Montgomery. When I walk out to my car at midnight and it is cold enough that the water from dew has frozen to every part of my car I know that it is too cold in Alabama. The other night I walked outside to my car after I got off work and there was ice across my entire windshield. I didn't realize it when I had gotten in my car and I didn't want to get back out and try to wipe it off with something so I drove with the ice on it. And just for future reference a defroster doesn't do a thing when there is ice frozen on your windshield. I had to drive leaning over the steering wheel like an old grandma trying to peer out a tiny little spot where there was not any ice at all until I got down the road to the Chevron. Then I had to scrap off the ice using a squeegee. The ice was coming off in chunks. I was amazed and baffled because I didn't think that could happen in Alabama, but I suppose I was mistaken. Luckily I was able to get the ice off and be on my way again.
