Hopefully the car is not wet under the tarp as the tarp will freeze to the paint and when removed it's not a pretty site. If you don't have a car cover it might be better to leave it uncovered.

it was mostly dry but the tarp does have a 'silver' lining so we'll see.. temp is supposed to go up...after it goes down to 0 deg F lol

now there's 6 inches of solid ice on that tarp and -20 deg F wind chill.factor.. lol nice...

turned out the ice just fell of the top of the tarp in one piece... no freezing underneath.... good outcome
now rain for 2 days so leaving the tarp where it is...

post up your ice pics!
