WINTER TIPS
**************



Squeak-proof widshield wipers with rubbing alcohol! Wipe wipers with a
cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This trick can make
badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near-perfect silence &
clarity.
`
Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Frost on it's way? Just fill a
spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water & spritz it on
all your windows at night. In the morning they'll be clear of icy mess.
Vinegar contains acetic acid which raises the melting point of water
preventing water from freezing!
`
Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray! Spritz cooking
oil on the rubber seals around car doors and rub it in with a paper
towel. The cooking spray prevents water from melting into rubber
`
Fog-proof windshield with shaving cream! Spray some shaving cream on
inside of your windshield and wipe if off with paper towels. Shaving
cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.
`
De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer! Just put some hand
sanitizer gel on the key and the lock and problems solved!

We are supposed to get 6-12" of snow in the Tulsa area tonite/tomorrow. We've been under a winter storm warning since yesterday. And to think Saturday it was 76 degrees. Yuk....
