It was cold last night...

Can any of you fellas offer suggestions on how to remove the frost from my windshield?

I've already been stampeded with PM replies from the ladies offering assistance with the antenna!

I'm still laughing from the antenna comment. That is not real correct? Had to comment anyways.

It's real. There's a whole series of photos. I think it's from Denmark or something like that. High waves make spray that's blow by winds and covered everything near the coast, IRRC.

I'm guessing the salt precipitated out, allowing it to freeze.

Or it was really, really cold.

Steve (Masraum) is correct!
Photos were taken in Switzerland and assembled in a Microsoft powerpoint presentation. I snatched one of the photos from the presentation simply because it looks to be a boxstersicle.
Brrrrr, from sunny Southern CA

We had an ice storm in the Spokane area a few years back. Freezing rain on a colossal scale, covered everything in a thick layer of ice. While some of the pictures are cool -- my mother found a spider web preserved perfectly, for example -- it was murder on power lines and roads.
