Dear Dee,

What I do is to use the hose all winter long.....................hook it up to
the wash tub, inside the house and and use warm water.  I wash my car all
winter long this way.  Oh, almost forgot to tell you...........you'll need to
wear ice skates while washing as the driveway gets awful slippery.  :)
