Instead let them be crushed by all that snow lol
Keep them up so u know a cars there
Beats having them frozen onto the glass when you scrape the ice
And so you can find your car
Putting your wipers up like this is not recommended as it turns your wiper arms into a sail. There is a significant chance it will bend the arms causing them to subsequently cause damage to the gear system and motor that operates your wipers.
Why is in r/funny? What’s the joke?
Just use a leaf blower…..
Is that a VW? It looks like someone trapped a bug.
Why don’t people cover their car with a tarp if they know a big snowfall is coming? Seems like it would make clearing the snow faster when you need to drive.
This is actually not recommended since it put tension on the spring of the wiper, it will lose some strengh and the wiper won’t be pressed enough on the windshield.
If you start your car for 2-3 minutes the ice will weaken enough to free the wiper without damaged. And if you really hate this you can put a sock on them.
Edit: fact checked. I am wrong lift your wipers fellas!
I wish people would realize that doing this will loosen the springs that keep the blade pressed against the glass and they will become less effective over time.
Bro I don’t want to drive to work in this shit
You in NE Ohio too?
Damn wherever this is at make sure you keep the snow and ice there heh.
It’s such a strange winter season for my area (Metro Detroit / Michigan). Even last year was pretty mild compared to recent years.
Think I’ve only had to shovel once so far, usually this time of year the sidewalk and driveway is like a snow moat from having no where to throw the snow to.
😂 at least wipers are safe
This is considered funny?
I guess whoever posted this has never cleaned off a car covered in snow…
Looks like Ontario today
It looks like a insect
That’s how your car breathes under all that snow.
Wishful thinking. I like it.
I thought we did that to find our car in the snow? Like in this pic?
remember to put your wipers up so you find it
I read keeping them up is bad and will damage them, better to bag them so they don’t stick to the glass
About a month ago, a tourist came to the ski town where i live. She couldn’t get into the driveway of her Airbnb because of some snow. So she leaves her car in the middle of a one lane road, blocking plows from clearing snow in the middle of the night. BUT she remembered to put her wiper blades up!🤦♂️
Someone recently told me it is not good/hard on your wipers to leave them in this position and that you’d be better off leaving them down. Something to do with the springs or lever mechanisms, not in regard to the replaceable blades. Anyone have a professional opinion?
* … so you can find your car.
More so wipers are not frozen in ice needing to scrap them free and potentially damaging them. Also no ice stuck for streaking.
Good thing they have a garage
it’s all fun and games until you fly home at midnight, find your car with 3 inches of ice on the driver side door/window. Have to chip your way into the passenger side with the belt from your luggage, to finally get inside and fire up your car to start the defrost only to find that your gas light is on, and, after further inspection, some asshole has siphoned your gas as your trudging down the road to the nearest gas station, hoping to god you make it with the 3″x3″ hole you managed to chip off the windshield, hit the wipers out of habit which then shatter completely, only to find the asshole left the cap off and there is 2 inches of ice you need to work through to get the pump in, and THEN discover, as you get half way home that you left a bottle of malt vinegar under the passenger seat which was exploded and froze, now a permanent part of your cars fragrance, finally getting home and the snowplows have created a barrier to your driveway so you run it up to thirty to get in the driveway only to end up teeter tottering on mound of snow at 3am and saying fuck it, i’m going to bed..
So yeah, put your wipers up.
It’s actually to help find your car
They are aiming at the JWST to pick up the signal.
Actually, my car looked exactly like that this morning too.
That’s a lot of snow! We got 14.5 inches a few days ago and it didn’t look anything like this…
I see no joke here. This person knows how to deal with snow.
Remember to dump kilos of salt
As a person from the north, I have a bad habit of not doing this.
