People living in a climate involving sudden drops to sub-zero temperatures overnight know the annoyance which having to scrape ice from their vehicle causes.
It’s especially true if you have a demanding early morning schedule to meet.

It might even change the indicated time in order to encourage a more urgent start to the day -and the windshield scraping.
