First, let me get this out of the way...

I am from California, but I have lived out in North Dakota since 2014, so I feel I am somewhat qualified to write about vital things pertaining to Mother Nature, more importantly, WINTER. When I first moved to Fargo, I had never experienced snow, never picked it up, or watched it fall out of the sky the coldest temps I had ever been in was around 40 degrees. So obviously the lovely sounds of ice being scraped off a windshield, followed by a steady flow of curse words from the not-so-happy human being, never graced my virgin ears. Before I knew it I was handed my first snow scraper. 

Mine was plastic and free, oh but it had a sharp edge.....

.....and we all know that's the most important part. For if you find yourself without one you immediately shift into survival mode ( a little too dramatic I know ) - a credit card will do, and my favorite - an old Billy Squier plastic cassette case ( thanks Scott McGowan). Throughout the years I have seen all shapes and sizes of snow scrapers. Like anything else in this world, 99.9% of them come with a price. Not to worry ( too much ) because most are fairly cheap, like with a few dollars - the high-tech ones that come with all the fixings like a foam grip and snow brush can set you back around $20-30 bucks. What's the most you would be willing to spend? I'm sure there are some snow scrapers that will make a dent in your wallet, but it's all how you look at it, right? I mean come on, you don't want to take a chance of ruining your Billy Squier tape.
