Helpful Winter Tips for Your Car in St. Louis, MO

Helpful Winter Tips for Your Car in St. Louis, MO

Keep headlights clear with car wax. Apply regular car wax to the headlights. The wax contains water repellents preventing the messy winter mixture from building up on your lights. This should lasts 6 weeks.

Ice-proof car windows with household vinegar. If frost is on the way, fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water and spray the soloution on all your windows the night before. In the morning, they will be clear. Vinegar has acetic acid in it. This acid prevents the water from freezing!

Car doors sticking shut? Prevent the problem with cooking spray. Spray the canned cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors then rub with a paper towel. The cooking spray keeps the water from melting into the rubber.

De-ice your door locks with hand sanitizer. Apply the gel to the key and the lock. Now the problem is solved.

Squeaky wipers? Apply rubbing alcohol or ammonia to the wipers with a cloth or paper towel. Now your streaking and squeaking wipers transform to nearly perfect clarity and quite.

As always, be careful on the road in St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas.

St. Louis Missouri Schools have First Snow Day of 2010

St. Louis Missouri Schools have First Snow Day of 2010

Yes, St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas have snow falling. The roads are snow covered and very slick. I am happy to report the districts have called school off this evening. Most if not all schools in the area are having a snow day tomorrow January 7th, 2010.

Officials are asking people to stay home unless they have an emergency. The snow is expected to end sometime on Thursday but the temperatures are going to plummet and possibly cause re-freezing and dangerous conditions. Friday the temperature is not going to make it out of the single digits.

This is the coldest weather we have seen in nearly 30 years. The Missisissippi River looks more like the Arctic than the midwest river...

They are predicting blizzard conditions Thursday.

So enjoy the snow day and stay safe.
