First Time Driving A Semi Through a Snow Storm

No, I'm not trolling at all. If the key to a clear windshield in snowing conditions is don't use the windshield heat/defroster then my question is about other areas on the truck that also, without question, are not being heated but have snow/ice build up.

 

That was my experience as well, for all 28 years.

 

Any heat leaking to windshield can cause snow to stick.
‘72 Louisville I drove eons ago the owner had cut pads to block defrost vents as required since they would leak heat.

 

In the summer time do you notice how the same parts of the truck that you keep saying have snow on them with no heat will also be covered in more bugs than the windshield? It doesn’t make sense to keep bringing it up. I’ve shown a pic with a clear windshield in snow and had I been driving like you did or still do you would’ve seen snow built up and wiper tracks on the windshield. I know what has worked for me the whole time I’ve been driving, you can keep doing it your way, that’s fine. But I don’t think you’re going to convince me to try max defrost with the sunshades down while driving in a snow storm.

 

But but the snow sticks to parts of the truck with no heat on them. Lol.

 

Remind me what you do. Thanks.

 

Drove to Omaha from home in ND through some moderate snow at times. No defrost. Just vent and floor. I rarely use defrost because a warm windshield will cause snow to stick.

 

There are snowstorms in Florida...just a different kind of snow!
