The temps ticked just over freezing to a delightfully tropical 35 degrees this afternoon so i thought it was a good idea to de-crust the truck.

After beating the ice out the hose and thawing the power washer pump body with the heat gun, i was able to get access to that non-solid form of H2O we all love!

Filled the cannons with Stars and Stripes and for the top side and Old Glory for the undercarriage and got her pretty well sorted. What i didn't figure was the slick layer of frozen snow foam left behind on the asphalt. 😆 😆 😆

Hopefully another day of above freezing temps will sublimate that.

not tryna be a jerk just sayin...


In New Jersey, it is mandatory under N.J.S.A. 39:4-77.1 to remove all accumulated snow and ice from your vehicle—including the hood, roof, trunk, and windows—before driving on public roads. Failure to do so can result in fines ranging from $25 to $75 for each offense, which can increase to $200-$1,000 if flying ice causes property damage or injury.

@Carson - thoughts?

edit - p.s. my son got up on a 10 foot ladder after the storm to clean off his work van roof:

Also security cam pic. lol

Edit #2:

Tragedy that led to NJ law on removing snow/ice from your car

Snow and ice on cars aren't just a nuisance; they're a hazard. New Jersey's law reminds drivers to clear their vehicles for safety and visibility, inspired by a tragic loss.

Three of my vehicles have full roof racks. For any vehicles that have to sit outside I put a 10x20 plastic drop cloth over them prior to snow storms. Otherwise I’m never getting that snow out of the rack.
