{"product_id":"9781468950403","title":"Surviving a New England Winter","description":"On December 10th 2007, I set out to go to work on the first day of a winter storm. As I got comfortable in my car and turned on the ignition to drive off out I could not see out of the rear and front windshield nor my windows.  My view was quite distorted from all angles.  I turned on the windshield wiper and still, I could not see.  I then squirted a little bit of windshield washer fluid and continued with the wiper and it seemed to make it worse. I stepped out and went to investigate up close and personal.  I gently knocked on the exterior of my windshield with my nails and I discovered a healthy coat of ice on the glass.  Upon further investigation it seems that all of the windows were covered with ice. Great my first day of work occurs with a freezing rain winter storm. I started to develop a minor level of anxiety.  I immediately went through the rental car and I found a small scraper like thing.  So I began scraper the windshield, then the rear windshield and all of my other windows.  My fingers were growing colder and more ridged by the minute to the point that I couldn’t feel my pinky finger.   Finally, I have scrapped enough to see out of the front windshield.  By now I knew that I’m running late for my first day at work.  I finally set out to go to work about 20 minutes after scraping. This brings me to why I came out with this quick, comprehensive guide on how to survive a New England Winter. I hope you can appreciate the upcoming pages which are packed with helpful hints, tips and tricks for a healthy living in the winter.","brand":"Booktango","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130219643120,"sku":"9781468950403","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468950403_p0.jpg?v=1763697177","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468950403","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
