WAXHAW, N.C. – Even as he puttered his way through an Indiana snowstorm with his son Austin’s belongings in the back of a truck, Brian Kendall was filled with relief.
Driving from Oklahoma to West Virginia in mid-January is nobody’s idea of a Zen moment. Big trucks were kicking up plenty of salt and muck on the interstate, and Kendall had no practical way of removing it because his windshield washing solution was frozen solid.
“I had to pour bottled water onto the windshield and hit the wipers,” Kendall noted, bringing to mind a much colder version of Ace Ventura.
