    Strange stuff on the paint and glass

    I looked out my window at the house just now and saw something disturbing. There are some strange fluffy deposits on the paint and the glass. What is this stuff? I`ve been living in Texas for three years now and I haven`t seen it before. Will it come off? What products should I use?

    Amazing!
    I didn`t realize it ever snowed in Houston.
    Are you sure it isn`t salt spray from the Gulf?

    I saw it in the weather channel, that is was snowing in your area. Was it beading after it melted?

    I`ll let you know when it melts. It`s a nice coat of white right now. It matches the ground nicely.

    Nice display!
    For some reason, I had it in mind that you moved South to get away from snow.

    Aren`t we forgetting the "least aggressive approach" here? Just try rock salt and see if you can find a bag of the big chunks and toss down from a height of about 10 feet! Might not be as fast as acid though.

    If that doesn`t work just let it sit for about 4 months.
