Upstate New York: Many years ago, owned a house on a long drive. It was a bad snow storm.

I dreamed up a brilliant plan. I hooked up the hose to my wash tubs....turned on the hot water and voila...the snow was gone.

Only to be replaced by an inch of ice. We used a pick axe to break it up.

At age 70, I have gained wisdom. I don't do anything....just smile as I watch the guys plow the drives and clean the walks at my complex.

I wish I could convince my PA husband he doesn’t have to shovel every single time we get some snow. We have a postage-stamp-sized driveway and driving over a couple inches is not a big deal. However, his idea is if anyone comes up to the door, it needs to be cleared - but he clears everything, anyway!

I can remember years ago (40’s) someone had a brilliant plan to get the ice off their car windshield. They put candles on the dashboard and went back in the house to eat breakfast. The candles were too close to the windshield and the glass cracked.
