Comment on YSK Tips for a Winter Storm

Good advice, I’ve genuinely never done that, just habit from a lifetime of winter.
That does remind me, though, I did find out years back that if you already have a crack, in my case a tiny crack from a rock, that hasn’t been sealed with a glass repair whatever it is they do, any significant amount of heat directed toward the glass in freezing conditions will cause the crack to spread. Bit. By. Bit. Suuuch a shit feeling to watch.

You can buy repair kits to fix those little bullseye chips from getting hit by rocks. They basically force a clear resin in, binding it together and making it clear again. It’s worth keeping one around just in case.
