[QUOTE="slsh, post: 224157, member: 8"] BBK - having wipers that work doesn't do me much good when the doors to the van are frozen shut!!!! I think it was Monday, or was it Tuesday... I don't remember, it's just too darn cold every day lately.... anyway, I went out to warm the van up and the driver's door was frozen shut. Passenger door too. At that point I was imagining the phone call to the kids' schools to tell they would be absent due to a frozen vehicle!:frozen: No way was I going to make the kids walk in 7-degree weather! I was able to finally pry open the side doors. We got our driveway redone this summer and it has a bit of an incline. Because it's concrete, the guys told us not to use salt on it because it will eat the concrete. So one of the very first snowy days, I went and picked up the kids, came home, parked as normal on the shoveled but still icy driveway. When Boo's bus got here, the van had literally slid down the driveway and ended up sideways!!!!! His nurse must've thought I was drunk. Thank goodness it didn't end up in the street!! Needless to say, we're using chemicals on the driveway now. Diva was shocked when we pointed out that it's not even officially winter yet. May I just say that this autumn has been the *pits*!! :frostbite::coldday: [/QUOTE]
