Winter can be a hassle for a number of reasons, but defrosting your car windshield every morning can really be a pain. However, thanks to one weatherman, there’s a foolproof remedy to that pre-work ritual.

Normally, clearing the windshield requires a lot of time or elbow grease, either warming up the car for sometimes five minutes or more, or getting the ol’ ice scraper out and going to town.
But Weathers’ approach makes those two solutions a thing of the past.
