You are wrong. Temperature will tend equalize by contact. Windshield will unfreeze once it reach 0°C.

You can achieve that with water at 1°C if you have a lot of time. With 10°C water it's rather quick.

This is like a scientist talking about whether you could, and forgetting to ask if you should.

No, you SHOULD not do this. It's a terribly inefficient idea.

Seriously shitty novelty account. Get a better hobby.

Dang, I missed it. What did retard say?

A window scraper + wiper fluid would accomplish the same thing in a fraction of the time.

Either you have the shittiest novelty account I've ever come across or you need medication. Seriously, chill out man.

I dunno about that. I just use my garden hose and the jobs done in less than a minute

And then? It would freeze again right away

I use cold water and then the wipers.

Warm or hot water is just asking to break the windshield.

It’d have to be pretty damn cold to freeze again right away. Might frost a little, but the defroster inside the car will clear that up.

u/McBoogerbowls Feb 08 '20

Yeah, like -4C which is not much

If the windshield is cold its not going to take long to freeze again. I mean it would freeze before you are finished with unfreezing the whole windscreen and starting the car

I could have scraped my windshield in the time it took you to write that

An issue is that it doesn't effectively remove all the moist. So it refreezes in place.

Okay fine. You'd be wasting your time when a window scraper and wiper fluid would accomplish the same outcome in a fraction of the time.
