Climate change is real, and of late, the changing scenarios gave the world a chance to witness something rare. From the world’s hottest dessert turning into a winter wonderland to frozen eyelashes in the world’s coldest village — the photos are breathtaking but scary and staggering. Owing to this climate change, people in Texas, US were surprised to see snowfall after more than 10 years.
Naturally, residents were excited to see fluffy ice descending during early December last year and called it a Christmas miracle. Even though most folks were overjoyed to delight in a rare snowy winter, reality seeped in with time. So, after the holiday season was over and people were all set to go back to work — people in Texas didn’t know how to get rid of the snow.
Soon, people found weird ways to scrape the ice. Well, some ideas are out-rightly hilarious. Don’t believe us? Ever tried to clean the ice with a hanger or a flying saucer? Watch people using these strange objects to grate ice from their cars.
Presenting the best ice-scrapers of 2018.

This morning I poured an entire bottle of titos vodka on my windshield to unfreeze it 10 minutes before work. It worked like a charm but hurt my heart so much.
