Dear Editor:
Today was Invermeres first snowfall during morning traffic. As I drove to town, I couldnt help to notice how many drivers were compromising their view from their snow-covered windshields. For every two vehicles I saw with windshields completely cleared of snow, the third vehicle showed the classic peek-a-boo opening, in which the driver turned on the wipers to remove the snow directly in front of his / her viewing area.
Its time to re-acquaint ourselves with our window scrapers / brushes, and take the time to remove all snow / ice from our vehicles windows. Having an unobstructed windshield as well as the other windows, allows a driver to see all potential hazards including children, domestic pets, and of course, wildlife.
We know we cant change the weather, but we can change how we drive in it.
Kathleen ONeill,
Invermere
