What matters most for windshield ice and snow removal?

Time is the most important tool. If you rush the removal, you greatly increase the risk of damage.
During the cold winter months, be aware of overnight weather conditions. Plan to get up early after freezing nights with precipitation.
How can I prevent windshield ice and snow?
The best offense is a good defense. Listen to the local weather report and try to do the following:
Park in a garage or covered area.
Use window covers or a tarp to cover your car.
If your budget is tight, make a windshield cover from paper bags or cardboard, then place the home made covers under the wiper blades.
Any of these steps will reduce the chance of frozen water on your windshield. In other words, you will not have any ice or snow to remove at all!

*Allow at least 5 minutes for the windshield to slowly heat up. READ MORE
