How Do You Safely Remove Snow & Ice?

Pockets, you've got a sick sense of humor. Perhaps I should try to take a 'behind the beer tent' picture at this year's Oktoberfest and make it my avatar...Ha!
 
They use the snow-brooms at a lot of dealerships in WNY, I bought a bunch for my family last year. Very sturdy and fairly safe on your finish. It'll scratch if you go to town, of course, but a little rub here and there is nothing a good polishing won't fix when the spring thaw comes.
 
^E-bay, Amazon...

I have one of these and it's so easy removing the thick wet snow.
 
lol I can't believe no one else has mentioned it...I'm from Upper Michigan originally. When I was a kid, the easiest way to remove snow and ice was to use a big bowl of luke-warm water. :\ Don't use hot or overly-warm water as you take the chance of cracking your windshield or rear window, but use luke-warm or room-temperature water and make sure your heat is on. No friction, no scratching, no problem. The snow and ice just fall off or melt pretty much immediately. Just remember, don't use hot or overly-warm water, it's not good for glass, though it won't really hurt your paint. You could even use an indoor water hose if you have a faucet in your house. ;) Good luck.

Removing snow by hand is the safest but just a royal pain.

In general, this is what I do as well. My jacket is soft enough and hasn't harmed the finish once. I do let the car / truck warm up thoroughly which helps the snow slide right off in sheets.

I hear that you have ice there too! Better find another spoy for a while. I'm headed to West Palm Beach the 10th of next month. Hope the ice and cold is gone by then!
