Snow removal

Snow is no problem, it's the gravel they spread on ice covered roads that will cause rock chips...

The windshield cover, I may just use a trash bag or something and prop my windshield wipers up. I've done it in the past at times when I knew we would be getting an ice storm and I didn't want to scrape the windshield in the morning.

Hey that winter warrior for the windshield is durable. I do like the snow broom but do not get too aggressive with it.

That is what I am talking about. It is the road sand and grime that sticks to the car then people try to clean off fresh snow and do paint damage.

Definitely! Here in Connecticut I have found that over the past few years the road sand seems to be less and less screened. I have had to replace windshields on all three of my cars (multiple times) and have some nasty nose paint chips. The 1/2" plus pebbles getting zinged at my car as the car in front of me picks one up in its tire tread and lauches it. I was talking with my insurance guy one day and he said he has noticed a significant increase in glass claims over the past couple of years.
