Ice Storm "Survivors" with cars left outside yesterday:

[no_hypocrisy]

PLEASE (!) remember to remove the ice from your hood, your trunk AND the TOP of your car/vehicle. There's more than a half-inch of ice that is like a ceramic plate which can fly off when you're driving and hit the vehicle(s) behind you. A driver died in Paramus, NJ several years ago when this situation happened. The extra time is worth it. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Edited: And remove the ice from your wheel wells. Please read response post from Jersey Devil underneath this post.

1. Also take care of those chunks of ice under your wheel wells

I was driving, coincidentally in Paramus, NJ, a few years ago after a snow storm and a chunk of caked ice in the wheel well of a truck came loose just in front of me, I ran over it and got a blowout. No injuries or damage (except for the tire and rim) but a close call. If you see ice hanging from your wheel wells behind the tires try to kick it out before driving.

3. Kicking Chunks is a Popular Sport in Minnesota.

Pro Tips:

1. When kicking chunks of snow and ice out of your wheel wells, use the heel of your boot, not the toe. Kick backwards, to avoid painful toe injuries.

2. Do not kick chunks in your own driveway. You'll have to deal with them. Instead, wait until you get to the parking lot of a store you visit and kick them there. Let someone else deal with your chunks.
