Just came in from doing the driveway. Got a little over a foot this

Why are you so concerned about removing the snow from your driveway?

:)

Good question. It ends up turning into a sheet of ice anyway. Earlier
today I told Mrs.E. that we'd be better off not plowing it because both
her
Navigator and my truck have better 4x4 traction in snow than on ice. She
looked at me like I had two heads.

That's a steep driveway for ice and the way it's pitched, I would
imagine that you get some run off from the sides which could be dicey
in long periods of cold weather.

I had to spread 9 bags of rock salt after the last storm. I hate using
that stuff, but the "environmentally friendly" stuff is about 17 bucks a
bag versus 7 bucks for rock salt.

Every try Urea? I use it all the time - works like a champ and it
fertilizes the lawn when it's all said and done. I get it from the
local farmer's coop - I think it's like $5 a 50lb bag.

Big bags of yellow snow stuff?
