In the front range of colorado we frequently get several inches of wet, heavy snow in the fall, winter and spring. We have to park the car outside a garage at home and at work. We always completely clear snow from all glass surfaces and check the operation of the wipers before driving the car. We bought an expensive telescoping combination scraper, brush and squeegee designed for cmvs to clear as much snow as we can reach and see from the white painted roof of the car before driving it.
