Buy bricks and concrete from Florida. They stay snow-free.

Don’t spread salt on concrete as it will eat holes in the concrete. Use Ice Melt which is actually fertilizer.

Don't use either if you got a cheap-assed skim coat put on your concrete driveway to cover up the old salt-eaten rough driveway.

sunlight penetrates snow... it is a miraculous thing... like it was planned that way.

just make the concrete darker and save on painting and clear coating...

bam.

If the snow is that fluffy stuff, I like to use a leaf blower, on the sidewalk, patio, and car.

Or, make your sidewalk out of asphalt!

Only kidding. One warning: I’ve read stories of people who implant wiring under their driveway that can be turned on by a switch from the house to melt the snow or ice off of it—but trouble arose after the car owner returned to the house and turned off the heater—neighboring dogs lay down on the still-warm concrete, froze to the pavement and either started howling at night, or actually froze to death there.
