Leaving work today will be a challenge.
I have 0.25” of ice on my car and I lack the mysterious Midwestern device called an “ice scraper.”

Woah woah woah, my parents sent me out to scrape the windshield almost everyday when I was a kid! Anyone from WI is an old pro at this. Just never had to do it without a scraper before, so the bucee’s gift card got called into action today. Not nearly as effective FYI. https://t.co/L02vpvLq7X
