Just A Tip If I Can

[TWR]

as the Icy weather is here a simple thing I used to do before the Truck I used to drive did not have an overnight heater, I used to stick a newspaper on the inside of the Windscreen, tuck some papers on the side door as the door closes, with a car just raise your wiper arms off the screen, this may help you by not blowing a fuse with you turning them on and the wipers sticking fast to the glass.

It's a good idea, TWR, to put a newspaper over the outside of the windscreen on frosty nights. And it does work!

Isn't the newspaper going to stick firmly to the glass and in turn the wiper blades stick firmly to the newspaper ?

[TWR]

The paper gets put on the INSIDE this acts as a barrier.

...I prefer the "car in the warm garage" approach.....

a fan heater in the car works effectively too.

If the Fan Heater is connected to your mains OK, if it's the type that's run off your battery, get your engine running first otherwise it MAY flatten your battery.
another point if I may, if the car has been running through rain & it's going to be parked up for a few days, leave in First / Reverse otherwise the handbrake Pads / Linings COULD Freeze up, put a choc at the front / back of the wheels.
