“Unlock Winter’s Secrets: 10 Game-Changing Hacks You Never Knew You Needed!”
Rice Isn’t Just For Eating
How good does a bowl of warm rice sound on a cold day? Even if you don’t like the taste, you can use rice to warm up your body. But filling a pouch or pillow with rice, you can heat up the pouch and use them as hand or feet warmers.
Rice absorbs and retains heat better than other food. You can either sew a tiny pillow and fill it with rice, or you could microwave a bag of rice and wrap it in a towel. Either way, you’ll have a speedy remedy for your cold fingers or toes.
Prevent Your Shovel From Sticking
Have you ever shoveled snow and had the ice stick to the shovel? To prevent this, spray some non-stick cooking oil on your shovel. Although it sounds odd, it works. It keeps the shovel warm enough to melt the snow slightly.
The same can go for a brush or window-wiper. Just make sure that your tool can handle the cooking spray! Once you’re done shoveling, wash off the shovel. You don’t want it to remain oily when you keep it in your winter tool closet.
You Have This In The Bag
You can defrost your windshield, but you can’t defrost your rear-view mirrors. If you’re parking outside, cover your rear-view mirrors in ziplock bags. It will prevent snow and sleet from sticking to these mirrors.
To secure the bag, use rubber bands or clothespins. Just slip it off when you need to drive and enjoy your commute! Expect the mirrors to still have some condensation, though. You want your drive to be as smooth as possible, right?
