Face East
This may sound like an obvious hack but you will be surprised how many people don’t think of it. There’s nothing worse than realizing your car is covered in ice just as you need to leave for work. Then you can’t do much but scrape it off or wait until it thaws.
What you could do instead is park facing east the next time. That way, most of the ice will melt as soon as it is hit by the morning sun rays leaving you with a clean windshield and mirrors. Now, you will even have time to stop for a cup of morning coffee before heading to work.
