I hear that. Bet you didn’t have snow tires on, either.
Another thing we had to do was put anti-freeze in the windshield washer water tank, as the water would often freeze up.

I had a 4x4. But that doesn’t help when the only road over the mountain pass is closed!

Here in loony California, the anti-freeze solution for your windshield washer cannot be sold in areas where freezing conditions are not normal in the winter. So on our way to the Sierras for our first couple of days of skiing each winter, we have to stop at an auto parts store as we get close to our destination where the proper washer fluid is available. At least the law doesn’t currently say we have to drain it out when we return to the flatland, yet!
