February 4, 20224 yr I have to say this is one of the most challenging days of snow shoveling of my life. It is rock ice snow!

February 4, 20224 yr I'm in Independence, the key is getting to it early. Shoveled mine 3 separate times yesterday, twice today. We have the only driveway on the street that is clear. No salt used, just a snow shovel.

I didn't go at it like you (I don't have anywhere to go, it is more for sport) but yesterday I watched @nWo's weather and the second the "wintry mix" started to give way to snow I shoveled knowing I wouldn't have an underlying layer of ice. No salt used, just my shiny new shovel I ordered off Amazon.

We have the only driveway on the street that is clear. No salt used, just a snow shovel. My neighbor and I have the only portion of street in front of our cribs covered with snow in addition to having the only clean driveways. ? We put so much snow out there (nothing hazardous) our neighbors have to slow down and admire our work.
February 4, 20224 yr Snow blower! Did it yesterday and then again about an hour ago. Glad I did it yesterday.
February 5, 20224 yr I started mine and was about 5 minutes into it when my shovel decided to split almost in 2. Worked enough to get through 1/2 the driveway.
February 5, 20224 yr I am not even going to try to get through the ice. I took a flat shovel, chipped away about 10 feet by 1 foot of the driveway for my tire tread path on each side of the car. That gave me enough traction to gain momentum and get out of the driveway.
February 5, 20224 yr You aren't lying. I shoveled yesterday and it didn't do me any good today. Today was the hardest shoveling job I've ever had I feel like. Ice was a massive pain.
February 7, 20224 yr Got a new shovel and took another crack at it today. It was basically 3 inches of ice at this point. Hands, arms, chest and legs are shot.

Friend and I shoveled at church yesterday. Arms and back are killing me today. Just too much ice. I'll pay some broke teenager to do it next time.

February 7, 20224 yr The mistake is waiting days to do it. You have to shovel as soon as it’s done to make it easier on yourself.
February 7, 20224 yr It is all in Mother Nature's hands at this point. I am letting the warm temperatures the next few days take care of the ice.
