Winter weather has arrived and although snow warnings have not yet returned this week, cold and frosty temperatures are still making life tough for drivers each morning.

There’s little worse than rushing out of your house in the freezing cold when it’s still dark and having to spend an age scraping ice off your windscreen while your engine is running and you’re trying not to be late for work or the school run.

But experts say there’s a way you can avoid all of that, by using a 99p grocery item sold in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's (full disclosure - 1kg of onions is £1.10 at Sainsbury's, but 99p at the others). It may sound odd, but rubbing an onion on your windscreen can actually stop your car from icing over in these cold and wintry November conditions, say experts.
