Third option is to let the sun melt the snow.
Well....yeah. Unless I had to go someplace first thing in the morning and if the snowmelt didn’t refreeze overnight.
I guess I could have just left it since it was only an inch or so deep and my driveway is short and relatively level.
We got up to almost 50 degrees today, and this evening we had a driving rain. We’re hoping a goodly amount of the snow will get washed away, but I’m sure there will still be plenty on the ground for Christmas Day.
