Although it’s probably not as dangerous as the worst winter weather, springtime can still pose a fair bit of peril to cars and their windshields. Drivers should be aware of all the different potential conditions during each season, and how they can affect the safety and security of their cars' windshields. Capitol Auto Glass, auto glass experts based in Lincoln, NE, explains how spring weather can affect your windshield. 

Melting Ice & Snow

The early and middle spring months mean melting ice and snow for regions of the country that got hit hard by winter snowfall. While spring melt is always welcome, it also brings with it loose rocks and debris. Drivers should be especially vigilant about rocks flying up on the road, which can cause chips and other serious damage to windshields.

Spring Storms

This spring has already brought countless unexpected storms throughout the country, and drivers should always be prepared for even the most extreme weather conditions when driving. May snowstorms are far from unheard of in some parts of the country. To protect your windshield, make sure to stay off the road if possible when one of them strikes. 

Extreme Temperature Changes

Cracks and chips on your car's windshield can expand when it’s exposed to humidity. If your vehicle’s windshield has one or several small cracks, try to get them repaired before the temperature and humidity start rising in your region. Neglecting the cracks could mean watching them expand dramatically during humid stretches.
