I use the same sno-brum as MikeC, or a long handle brush/scraper. At work, we need to clean the roof of about a dozen mini-buses. It's a PITA, but a roof rake works well if you don't care about the paint ;)

I use the same orange snow brum like Mikec, however I ditched the original fixed length handle and use a telescoping handle, stores much easier collapsed down, but gives you the length when you need it.

I once put RainX on my windshield before a storm. I was pleased at how the snow and ice came off. I have wondered how those paint coatings do when it comes to snow.

That's the one I'd go for. I've looked at them on Amazon

You can blow the snow off with our MF200
Yeah sorry, not a good marketing pitch. The dusting of snow in your video isn't even worth the effort, it'll blow off before I even leave the driveway.

This wont work for those of us that get real snow. Theres 8 inches sitting on my truck right now.

Agreed, but since @WOLFBOX specifically called out New Hampshire snow, if they REALLY think it will work, I'll gladly review it if they want to send me one. :P

Sorry, but that's good for blowing off dust, not snow. These types of blowers just don't have the capacity to move enough air to make a difference. You'd spend more time and effort using this blower than you would just brushing off the snow.

What I'd love to do is have an air curtain somewhere I could drive under.

8" of wet snow, that's stuck because it fell onto a wet surface and then froze............ It even pushes off hard with a broom..................

I use a standard 20" push broom.
That works great. Used to do that with all the trucks at work. The only problem is the broom kinda needs to be dedicated to the task. Had a new guy use "the snow broom" to sweep the shop floor. That was not pretty. So glad it wasnt my personal truck.

I'm more concerned with how I keep my Wolfbox camera mirror from going haywire. Every once in a while, the things just starts clicking through all the screens. It does this for 15 or 20 seconds, just going to each camera then the screen that shows all three cameras, then keeps going until it eventually stops. It's a little disconcerting.

Check the connection of the rear cam. If there's moisture in the connector, this issue will happen. Also make sure everything is secured tightly.

Adding to that - I ALWAYS use dielectric grease on all connections I have apart for any reason.
As my snow plow takes a lot of it on those massive connectors, I buy big tubes of it.
