### **English Translation**

Because of that experience, I got into the habit of **raising my wipers before a snowfall** to make clearing the snow easier.

Yesterday, the snow started falling around noon. My company encouraged us to leave early, so I went home at 4 PM—but snow had already piled up on my car, bringing back some bad memories.

Then, a senior colleague told me, **“Use this.”**
He lent me something called a **snow brush**.
Since I hardly ever go to places with snow, this was my first time hearing about it—but apparently, it’s a thing!
Thanks to the brush, I was able to remove the snow quickly, and it was a huge help.

The next morning, it seemed like snow had fallen all night, covering my car again.
I wished I still had the **snow brush** my colleague lent me, but I didn’t—and I was starting to think I’d be late from removing all the snow.

Then, a **stroke of genius** hit me:

**“Could cardboard work?”**

I thought about scraping the snow off with my hands, but I wanted to avoid the cold.
I wondered if there was a way to clear the snow without touching it directly—and suddenly, an idea came to me.

I quickly went back inside and grabbed a **cardboard box** of a convenient size.
Then I tried using it to clear the snow—and wow, it worked like magic!
The snow just **fell off effortlessly**.

It worked **better than I expected**, and I was able to get going in **just one or two minutes**.
Even without a snow brush, a **free Amazon cardboard box** ended up saving the day!

I might keep one in my car **this season**—looks like it’ll come in handy.
