MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Patience is the key for clearing icy windshields.
That’s the word from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. A social media post from the agency is discouraging travelers from using a current internet hack suggesting that hot water be poured on the windshield to quickly de-ice it.
WisDOT says that could crack the windshield’s glass, and recommends turning on the defrosters, waiting for the car to warm up, then using a scraper to remove ice and snow.
