ice scraping
Removing frozen buildup
Ice scraping is the act of removing ice from a surface, typically a car windshield, using a handheld scraper.
It's a winter ritual in cold climates, performed before driving: I spent ten minutes ice scraping this morning.
The term can also describe the characteristic sound produced: the ice scraping from the driveway woke me up.
