Some tips to keep in mind when you want to  melt snow off your car  are turning on your defrosters right away, using a non-abrasive brush, and starting from the top and working your way down…like you would a road trip in the Everglades. Make the neighboring town of Homestead your home base while you explore mangroves and fauna. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, stop by an alligator farm for an airboat tour. In short: leave the brush, bring your binoculars.
