Clear Snow Off a Car

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Snow boots
  • Snow gloves
  • Snow scraper/brush
  • Ice chipper
  • Snow shovel (optional) 

Steps:

  1. Dress appropriately, with warm, waterproof gloves, winter clothing and high-topped snow boots.
  2. Stand on one side of the car. Using a long-handled snow scraper, push the snow on the roof of the car as far to the other side as you can reach. Once the roof is mostly clear, continue pushing the snow on the rear window, trunk, windshield and hood.
  3. Walk around to the other side of the car and use the snow scraper to pull the piled-up snow off the car.
  4. Use the snow brush to remove any snow that hasn't come off the windshield, hood or headlights. Use an ice chipper to remove any snow that has melted and refrozen into ice on the windshield.
  5. Use a snow shovel to remove the snow from around your tires so you can pull out of the parking spot, if your car is truly buried.

Tips & Warnings

  • When pulling the snow brush toward you, stand back so you don't pull snow onto your clothes and shoes.
  • Before you open the car door, brush off any snow that has collected above the door frame to avoid snow falling into your car.
