Scrapers are always in my car, and I think I have a supply of them in my garage.  We would take them out of the car and get caught in a snow storm and have forgotten to put them back in the car. We get alot of visitors from Israel at work, and the rental cars usually have these tiny little scapers that barely reach part of the windshield.  I think we have a supply at work for those cases. But my best scraper story was trying to scrape off the window of an Explorer in Raleigh with one of those scrapers.  I just turned the heater on and hoped the snow would melt.  I could reach about 1 foot of the window while standing in the doors.  Big car, short person, tiny scraper make things difficult.

I find that for minor frost an old plastic card like a dead calling card or old debit card works just fine. There's always an ice scraper under my seat though. scraper is a hard plastic tool having a wide flat blade not unlike a spatula but tapered to fatter.  It is applied to iced glass in the vain hope that it will remove the ice from the glass.  If the ice is irregular enough, such as with frost, this will work, but if the ice is smoothly deposited, such as an ice storm or melt/freeze cycle, it is a sisyphean task.

'Only in Cleveland' as in "Only in Cleveland would someone ask for a window scraper in July." Is the joke really that obscure?  Or is it just that everyone here is humourless?

‘Only in Cleveland’ as in “Only in Cleveland would someone ask for a window scraper in July.”
