Not only do we not have snow brushes, but we have at least one or two days
out of the year when we have ice on our windshields in the morning. We
either have to sit and wait for the defroster to melt the ice before we
leave for the office, or we have to resort to sleeping in because they don't
sell ice scrapers where we live.

But don't put on alum edging! It makes a ridge that prevents sweeping the
surface. I keep a car snow brush on a nail over my bench for just this
sweeping. I don't know what you guys that live in good climates can use.
I
also have no sympathy.
