Great suggestion to clear an icy windshield

As I get ready to clear several inches of snow from our driveway and sidewalk, here' a good suggestion from the Detroit Free Press on handling an icy windshield:

• If you know in advance that ice and snow is coming, pull the wiper blades away from the windshield so they stricking out on an angle.

That way they won't be in contact with the glass and they won't freeze to the windshield.  Wiper blades may be ice covered, but you'll have an easier time breaking the ice off, according to the story.
