The problem is not snow, it’s the ice that forms on the windscreen during the night, because of the sub-zero temperatures. It takes time to scrape it off, and if you’re late, you do the bare minimum to see where you are going, hoping your car will heat up and melt the rest before you crash!
I’m so used to the car being warmed up (auto start) I forget how long it used to take when I did it the old fashioned way. A lot more elbow grease involved without the warm air circulating inside.
Can someone from a country that gets snow explain this meme?

They snoozed the alarm so they are late and didnt clean the windshield to rush somewhere
And it’s incredibly stupid and more common than it should be. Takes 20 seconds to do the windows properly.
A girl in my city did that a few years ago and hit a pedestrian and then went to jail for it.
Worst 20 seconds she ever saved.
Yeah it’s at least 5 minutes and I run the car while I’m scraping.

Sometimes the ice is so bad I have to run the car for 10 minutes so the ice scraper will remove the ice
