Yesterday's snow storm wasn't fun for anyone - well, maybe for the kids who got the day off of school and got to play in the snow. But for those of us who were digging out last night and today, it wasn't the way most of us would choose to spend our time. However, it's a hassle that's necessary.

Yesterday, I shared a really practical, simple way to get ice off of your windshield.
