text: yeah um actually it turned out in our case um i know somebody who when they tried to defrost their car cracked their windshield um though occasionally it can be dethawed in our case we didn 't um we didn 't have the problem because my we keep my wife 's car in the garage so her car didn 't get iced over you know it wasn 't um um it was a little bit cold in her car in the morning but it wasn 't iced over so i just left my car out there for a couple of days and um within two or three days it was it was actually warm enough that everything melted um it was it was actually one of the most beautiful sights i 've ever seen because everything looks you know if you can imagine just seeing everything coated in a nice clean sheet of ice and and and it looks really nice the whole whole place but um it got you know after the initial storm it got worse as things started to melt because um as things melted branches shifted and started to fall again so we 're still cleaning up we actually left the last people got power i guess yesterday and we left the state of emergency last night or something at like midnight so it 's it 's it 's not fun

  Defrosting a car can be done by anyone with a grade school education and hot water .
