    I thought about IPA based rubbing alcohol. This used to be my backup plan right before a freeze but now you have to smuggle it from the North.

    I agree Texas is usually behind in environmental laws. Who knows. Last time I checked it is a TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) rule.

    The City Fathers for Sacramento County determined that some thing over 32F was good enough for this area. So now when I drive to Reno in the Winter I see many cars stopped scraping ice off their windshields. Humorous and pathetic. They do not realise thet are responsible for the ice. An example of GOVERNMENT NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE DOING.. I just stock up in Reno with the Zero. Degree stuff.
