Shovel it off

We put rock salt down on ours, but then you have to sweep it up after the snow has melted otherwise it looks a mess...

Or hire a snow blower and spray it all over the fence onto your neighbour's drive

I cleared our drive way once. Except it didn't go to plan and just ended up compacting the snow, which made it a bit treacherous.

Boiling water?

On our drive, when the cars are moved, the drive is cleared. Easy as that

Only problem with that would be when or if it goes icy tonight, it gets a bit dangerous

Buy RX7

Fill with fuel

Watch it catch fire spontaneously and melt all the ice/snow.



Does it show I'm a little pissed off with mine?
