Easiest ways to remove snow from a car

It might seem like there isn’t any easiest way to remove snow from a car; you just have to get at it. But the fact is, there are some ways that are easier than others, and it depends on the type of snow and the environment that your car is in.

The very easiest way to remove snow from your car in any situation, is to get someone else to do it, but since that’s not usually a viable option, the next best thing is to assess the situation before getting to work.

For the most part, most of the time, removing snow from a car needs to be done in the morning when you wake up to find it’s snowed and your car is covered. In this case, the situation is either that you live in an apartment building or condo or townhouse type situation where your car is in a parking lot of some kind, or you live in a single family home. In the first case, your objective is to get your car out from where it is parked and then deal with the snow, because that’s the easiest way to go. This is because someone else is going to clear the parking lot, not you. Thus, all you have to do is dig your car out enough to get it moving and to be able to see where you are going.

Once you have your car out of the spot it was parked in, move it somewhere out of the way, then get someone to help you get the snow off of it; and the easiest way to do that is to unfurl a sheet or a large towel over the top of the car, then, one person grabs it on either side of the car; the two of you then position it like a scoop, as you both walk towards the rear of the car, causing the snow to slide off the back. If the snow isn’t too deep, this maneuver may only have to be done once and your car will be cleared from the top to the back.

Next, move the car to a new spot, so that you won’t have to drive over the snow you just removed, the do the same maneuver again, only this time, dumping the snow from the top to the front. This time of course you will want to back out of where you were so you won’t have to drive though the snow you just removed.

Then, once you have the top, trunk and hood cleared, move the car to a third spot, and then use the sheet or towel you used earlier to wipe off the windows, license plates and headlights, and that should be it. The easiest way to remove snow from a car.
