Iced Shut Car Door Meets Hair Dryer
We had a lot of rain the other night and today was so cold, maybe 20 degrees for the high, but a little windy. Just perfect weather to get a hot shower, bundle up and stay inside.
We should have checked the car earlier today because Hubs forget to stop at the store yesterday to get something he had ordered. Big mistake to wait until evening and not check the car to scrape the ice on the windshield and see if the doors open.
The spray can of defroster was out of pressure, and due to the temperature, there was no talk of walking to the closest store that is almost two miles away that might have it.
You really do not want to know how long it took outside in the cold to use a hair dryer to open the driver door. We had to attach some plastic to the car roof rack and hold the sides to prevent the wind from blowing away the hot air from the hair dryer. This takes two people freezing their rears off to accomplish!
Why are we not using the garage? Besides the fact there is no room for the car, I have a blow dryer!! Just get out a heavy extension cord, heavy plastic to shield the door from the wind and plug in the blow dryer.
