<human>:  How can I prevent snow or ice from forming on my car in winter?
<bot>: One way to prevent snow or ice from forming on your car in winter is to park it in a garage or sheltered area whenever possible. This can help shield it from strong winds and extreme temperatures that cause snow or ice to form. If this isn't possible, try using windshield covers or cardboard boxes to minimize the contact the car has with the cold air. Additionally, you can invest in a quality car cover or tarp to protect it from the cold, and use a portable heater to warm the engine block before you start it. Finally, you may want to apply a de-icing product to the windshield, wipers, and other surfaces to help melt and remove ice.
