^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You could cut that off and:

this would still be accurate.

Don't you have heater in your wheels?
When it's cold outside you need heating to keep the windows clear.

Wearing a hat makes you sweat.

The ones with the hats on then decrease heating and, of course, drive with
steamy windows and can't see anything.

Like they would with clear windows any better...

No. Finnish. But in a couple of years I'll finish.

That sounds about right.

> Oh, and if snow depth >1cm, abandon car as its 'dangerous'

They must be a bit more adventurous nearer to me. Most will let it get
to 0.5" (1.25cm) before they give up. Give them the snowfall from the
early 90's, or 80's, and most would now have a heart attack.
