Everybody has something they hate about winter. These guys found a partial cure.

QuoteFed up with the dismal winter ritual of chiselling ice off their car windows, a group of engineering students from Waterloo, Ont. came up with a way to ensure they never have to scrape another windshield again.

What began as a university project two-and-a-half years ago to solve a pet peeve has evolved into Neverfrost, a startup company that's developed a transparent film for vehicle windows to prevent frost and deflect harsh elements like snow and freezing rain.

I can't think of a better test market than the same country which inflicts us with their weather.

Oh, that's right, you're downwind of the septic.
We get it first, pollute it with SF air, send it on to Canada, and they toss it your way.

Pollute it with SF air? I thought it was Ann Arbor. THEY toss EVERYTHING our way!
