I lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for about 20yrs before the NW and I never
saw anything close to the nasty verglas we find on windshields here.
Couple of my buddies, after one douche of freezing rain on top of a few
feet of wet snow, they "skied" on their hockey skates on the 2" rain
crust.  Not even a premium Lexan windshield scraper  will remove that kinda
ice.
