Tim's Weather World: "Peephole" Drivers Beware!

You know who you are.   You are in a hurry but your windshield is covered in frost, ice, snow or a combination of all three.  Instead of taking the time to scrape your windshield clear, you scrape off a 3 inch by 5 inch peephole (or smaller) so you can peer out of your vehicle as you head off into traffic putting yourself and others at risk.  Police will be clamping down on "peephole" drivers this fall and winter according to this recent article from USA Today.

SnowScraperIce_Sm.jpgPeople in Denver will be scraping tonight and tomorrow as they brace for a major storm that could bring up to nearly two feet of snow in some of the higher elevations.   That storm will bring us wet and windy weather for Friday.  Scraping snow could be in our near future, at least according to Chicago climatology.   The average date of the first measurable snow (at least .1") is November 16th.

Tim ,

Pee hole driving , LOL ... reminds me of when I was a stupid kid in a hurry to school...

Here is a little tip. They do sell external heater/blowers that plug into the ciggy lighter . They blow hot air immidiatly. Start your car , plug it in and give it a few min. to do its job.

Come on people get up 10 min. earlier , start your car , crank the defrost , and get an extra heater /blower ... They have a long enough cord and work just as well on the back window ...

Cheers and drive safely .
