I had a friend in Indianapolis when I was growing up. They had heat
elements in their driveway. The problem was it had to be turned on before
the snow started.
My solution is much easier. After researching snow blowers, tractors and
various other pieces of technology, I made a decision.
And hired someone.
6" of snow last night. Gone from my driveway by 8am on a Sunday.
Seems like a good technology choice.
