We all would probably do well to say less and listen more. I wish I could take back some of the stupid and hurtful things I've said over the years. It's part of the human condition.
Ice Scraper- Cheap And Really Works

Ice like that is about the only reason why I'll start a car and walk away for it to warm up. 5 or 10 minutes on defrost (too bad I usually can't turn on recirculate) and it's a lot less work.
I've never tried sharpening an ice scraper but I can't see why not. What's the worst that would happen--you need to throw it out?
Usually I try to buy when on sale in spring. Lately I've been liking the ones with the long handle that extends, makes cleaning the top of truck easier of snow. I really should buy some sort of snow broom.

Get an extendable car wash brush. I've got one and it works wonders on snow! I can keep the truck in the garage when home, but it's handy when it snows all evening at work and I gotta clear off snow.
This would work good:

I bought my scraper in the '90s when a co-worker was with the Avon program. Hard plastic, worked fine in Denver and now here. It'd be nice to have a backup in case I lose this one.
(I'm about the only person I know here with an ice scraper. Most of the imbeciles use a credit card, or if they're really thick they use hot water. Crack!! )

Mine was "free" courtesy of Sixt rental car - long handle, snow brush and it has their logo printed on the side and it appears to have never been used. I figured I was returning the car in Georgia (picked up in Minnesota) they probably wouldn't miss it as they aren't typical equipment in Georgia rentals.
Now I have come to learn it is not needed in my E-Golf since I can remote start the defrost and car has a defrost grid in the windshield, 4-5 mins and frost and ice have transformed back to water. Speaking of I need to move the Sixt brush to the Sportwagen where it is actually needed.

I've bought a few although I've never really ended up using them. However, I wouldn't trust a dollar store special over a basic Hoppy. I've got one of these somewhere in my house, as well as some with colored handles. I think I paid about $1 for it at a gas station on the way to Tahoe. There's a scraper packaged with my tire cables, but I wouldn't really trust that not to break either.
My favorite scraper is a plastic one with a brass edge that I bought years ago from somewhere. I don't see those type for sale at any stores locally anymore.
I will have to pick up another one from that Amazon link posted above.
