Sharp dad uses machete to clean off windshield

KATY, Texas (KTRK) -- A lot of folks in southeast Texas don't usually have an ice scraper ready to use.

Yet when vehicles were covered in a thin, hard sheet of ice, many had to turn to alternate tools to clear away their windshields.

For Rodolfo Perez's father, a credit card wasn't strong or effective enough to use.

Take a look at the ice scraping tool of choice in the video above, and check out photos taken during this extreme winter blast.
