Clay, you've really got to take that snow off of the hood, otherwise at exactly the wrong moment, it's practically guaranteed to break loose and cover your entire windshield.
There's a 99.99% chance that this will happen a millisecond before the car in front of you slams on their brakes, a deer decides to jump out of the woods to cross the street, or anything of that nature.
Don't forget that as the engine is running, it's heating up and melting the bottom layer of that block, so it'll be free-floating sooner or later.
It's setting in the South end of the parking lot, maybe the sun will have melted most of it off by the time I get out of here.

Ran to the store to grab a few things. I always park way off away from everyone and of course I get Fred Sanford parking next to me when I come out. 🤬 🤦‍♂️

The Sun melted it enough that it slid off the hood by hand.
😁I love it when a plan comes together.

Tha added bonus is the snow acts like a carwash! Until the goop splashes up on the sides, the tailgate or the spray from rigs in front of you... Oh, dang! 🤬 Never mind!!! 😂

Man I use to hate that. Your truck was all nice and clean then one mile down the road it looks like you never touched it from the road crud. That's why I love it here non of that to deal with anymore! Speaking of cleaning, it's 72 outside and it's time to run the duster over mine. :sun::tumbleweed:

But then you get that lovely two-tone paint job!

It was well below zero here for a bit, roads were nice with just a bit of snow covering, truck looked good.
Today it warmed up to 15 degrees and the salt they put down a few days back started to work. Roads are wet and slushy. Truck is a mess. I hate salt on roads. It's mainly state roads that use it, towns have gotten away from it because of cost and availability.
Good business for car washers and undercoating outfits.

@TxOTRRanger doesn’t realize it will look like this…

But there won’t be any warning.

At slow speed down very rutted up roads, I wasn't born yesterday.
Normally, I’d have a free t-shirt to give away in these situations but instead, here’s a free snow brush…

That’s no ordinary snow brush - it pivots and has a telescopic handle. Built for reaching the entire hood and windshields of our levelled Rangers.
