Well, after fifteen faithful seasons, my snow brush has gone to snow brush Valhalla. The top of it finally broke off after some vigorous ice scraping this morning.

I'd been using a brush that extended via a telescoping pole, and that was rather handy. This is pretty similar to what I had:


I figure if there are better options out there, I'm all for it. Considering the amount of snow we get, I think I'd rather pay for a quality brush that will last for another fifteen winters rather than get something cheap.

What do you guys use/recommend?

i use this:



it also has a removable rubber squeegee on the "scraper" portion of the brush that you can use to clean your back window from melted snow after being parked for a bit.

I have the same as well. Have had it since the last 7 years. Works well.

I use something called a sno rake. The head is an orange spongey kind of material with a telescoping handle. Allegedly, it is what car dealers use to remove snow without scratching the paint. Those vinyl bristles can give you spider web type scratches.

I'd post a picture but doing that is a PITA so if you want to see one, Google sno rake images.

I've heard about the sno rake before - seems like a good way to remove deep snow as opposed to a brush.

Do you just carry a separate scraper for ice, or is the rubber adequate at removing that as well?

I have this one bought it at home depot:



The only thing I did was remove the telescopic handle and replaced it with a standard wood broom handle. It works great.

I use the Sno Brum for snow. I dont scrape my window because I cover it with cardboard tucked under the wipers at night. For emergency scraping I keep a little one in the back but haven't used it in years.
