I was so looking forward to that.. Luckily, this pretty new friend of mine decided to make an early appearance.. One day it looked like this.. And the next day….

Using car mats, carpet remnants, or sheets of plastic to cover your car windows will prevent them from getting any frost, snow, or ice on them in the first place.For the side windows, open the doors and let the plastic drape over the windows before closing the doors again.

This takes a bit of planning the night before, but you’ll sure be happy when you wake up in the morning!.2) Another use for vinegar!If you spray or wipe vinegar over your windows after you park your car, it will prevent ice from forming in moderately cold temps.

You can also use it to mist over a light frost to help it melt faster.. 3) Protect your wipers!One of the most frustrating parts of an icy car is trying to chip away at the ice around your windshield wipers.

The car’s defroster rarely reaches the wipers too, so warming your car up in advance of needing it doesn’t help either.

Simply place an old pair of socks over your wipers after you park, and you’ll be good to go no matter what the weather brings!.So many talented Canadians with seriously (seriously) inspiring homes and ideas.

AND if you liked this little tour of my home from me, I’d love to have you join me on.where I share little peeks of life around here everyday!.

Come back each day to see a new set of home tours from Monday to Thursday this week.. Monday:.Northern Style Exposure.
