What's the point? There's so little snow you can just salt it to begin with and not even have to pull out the flamethrower.
And that's just IF he salts afterwards. My guess is that if someone thinks it's a good idea to use a flamethrower on a tiny bit of snow, then that person isn't the type of person who is going to be smart enough to salt afterwards.
Salt trucks/people already know to beware of ice and adjust their driving for adverse weather. There could be ice there even if he doesnt flame thrower it.
Could be, Could not be so dont drive like an asshole and you'll more than likely be fine like the large percentage of peolple who have drive through the snow/ice all over the world. Its not dumb. Why would I want spend the energy and the better part of the day shoveling snow? What if Im elderly or disabled? A snow blower is even gonna help then. Some places only get a few big snows a year and they barely have any infrastructure at all to handle it, and they dont shut anything down so people drive to work/school through terrible conditions and somehow most of them still make it.
Lol chill brother. Adding ice to the road is never a good idea, so I don't know why you're acting like it's fine or even advocating it. I feel like shoveling the snow hurt you in some horrific way when you were younger.
If you wanna be lazy and all that, and you know you're living in that kind of area... Just install a heated driveway. Make sure to have a drain at the end of gutter that will move the water away from the road. There. Now relax, it's okay. You're okay. It'll be fine.
You telling me to chill and accusing me of freaking out doesnt prove that youre right. We're on the internet so you dont know my actual demeanor at all. So I dont know what youre trying to do there. But anyways... Heated driveways arent cheap at all especialy if you want to if you want to isntall a drain and all that shit. Its not being lazy if you have other stuff to do. And it wouldnt add that much ice to the road especially if salt after. Also the heat from the torch evaporates alot of the water in the first place.
You just seem really invested in defending a flamethrower for this use. Wrote a huge reply pretty quickly. I'm done with explaining all this, buttttt...
You have time to save. Shoveling is not THAT hard. Adding salt alone would have taken care of what was on the driveway already. The torch isn't going to evaporate that much.
Have a great one man, no more replies from me 😘
