The jedis and I are in the midst of an experiment.

We took ice melt and poured it into a knee-high stocking (I got the idea from a website Suzi sent to me...they used it differently than I intend to.) Then, we laid it out on the snow-covered concrete in front of the front door.

The first part of the test is to see what would happen underneath and as expected, it melted the snow underneath.

The next part of the test is to see if it will keep snow from forming on top. It has just begun to snow again, so we will see.

What we hope to accomplish is an open "channel" through which melting snow and ice can travel. So, I can make up long pantyhose legs full of ice melt and lay them in my shop gutter, preventing the snow and ice from forming and allowing the snow on the shop roof to melt off and drain away, without washing away the ice melt. THis will keep the snow from backing up and flooding my shop again.

I have no idea if this will work or not...
