I bought one of these from Canadian Tire last year.
Surprisingly works very well. Tried to share this with a few friends and they laughed cause of it's simplicity and resemblance to a typical funnel.

Oh well, I can scrape off my windows in 1/4 of the time they take with their standard scrapper. I tried.

Dumping down pretty good here in Squamish, already about 2" on the ground. I imagine the S2S will be a gong show of slid out cars with all seasons coming from the city.

Probably invented by a guy who was desperate for a scraper and found a funnel in the garage. Reminds me of the new Shreddies mini. It's diamond shaped, not square.

For some reason, I love the sound of frost being scraped off the rear glass of a vehicle. Not snow...........frost.

Snow has really lightened here in Squamish. I drove my wife to work, there is only one lane plowed on the S2S through town, I imagine the rest of the highway is similar.

Got about 5 cm in Duncan, still falling lightly. Roads were mostly unplowed this morning ... except the highway and the road to the nearest Tim Horton's, that shit was plowed as fuck. #priorities

SNOW!!!!!!

Road conditions are not good this morning, cities did not snow plow or salt the roads. Some areas are a little bit slippery but shouldn't be a problem if you have snow tires.
Avoid Alex Fraser bridge northbound traffic is gridlocked

A few cms over here in north van. I love it. This weather has been such a treat compared to 7 and pouring rain.
