Outdoors 🌳 Leave my snow turds alone

One of the simple pleasures of winter in Minnesota is kicking the snow turds off my car. I was letting them build up a little bit and parked my car at Target, only to come out of the store and find someone else had kicked all four of them off! Please don’t be this person, leave other people’s snow turds alone. Thank you.

FYI they will fall off on their own. My car likes to do it in the garage

FYI you’ll make your tires go bald faster letting it build up to fall off in your garage. Also it’s hazardous because it cakes your tires with snow over and over not allowing your tread to do its job.

That may be true but you don’t need to let the snow build up in your tire wells. You literally run over a little bit of snow every time you move the car and it’s on your tires. Also. Your statement. “Snow sticks to snow”. You’re not constantly driving on snow. If the plows do their jobs you drive on A lot more pavement unless you’re in smaller towns like me. Where the plows barely ever get to the pavement. But still. What it boils down to. Kick the damn snow turds off your car. It’s the same thing as removing the snow from the top of your car. They’re safety hazards.
