Defrost feature
Good morning y’all
This might be ridiculous to some, but others may not know. I’ve seen too many cars covered in snow on the road.
Many cars and trucks have a defrost feature. The symbol looks like the attachment. If your car had lines in the back window, that may be an electrical element that is for defrosting. Some cars have defrost on the mirrors. Some cars have defrost zigzags element under where the resting wipers sit.
If you are in the shade, the snow/ice won’t melt well from the sun/higher temps. Cleaning off your vehicle in the afternoon will help you a lot tomorrow. It’s supposed to be cold again tonight.
If you want to have your vehicle do most of the work defrosting itself — turn it on, (make sure your wipers are off!) turn the heat & fan speed all the way up and direct the heat to the windshield like you would to defog. You may have to press a button to heat the back window and/or mirrors. It might take 10-20 minutes for the car to warm up and you should be able to push the chunks of ice/snow right off.
My grandfather would always tell me to park my car facing the sun in the winter and away from the sun in the summer.
Hope this helps & Stay safe
