Anybody else see the video of a dude in North Dakota using a blow torch on his driveway?

Honestly windshields should be heated same as in the back.

I lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for about 20yrs before the NW and I never saw anything close to the nasty verglas we find on windshields here. Couple of my buddies, after one douche of freezing rain on top of a few feet of wet snow, they "skied" on their hockey skates on the 2" rain crust. Not even a premium Lexan windshield scraper will remove that kinda ice.

You southerners kill me. I've scraped windshields at -30 with a credit card. You mean windshield washer fluid guaranteed to -40 isn't readily available? It works great :)
