Wish there was some widjet that removed ice that doesn't take much more effort than shoveling fresh snow. Trying to remove ice is very labour intensive.

If you know ice is coming, cover your path with a roll of heavy duty (6 mil) plastic sheet. Just be sure to leave an end, or at least an "ear" protruding so you can pull it up along with the ice. :)

Calcium Chloride (bags usually say 'ice melt' on them) and direct sunlight, if your driveway has sufficient exposure work well for us.

Direct sunlight on its own works (it was 10F yesterday but the sun still melted ice on our drive) but the calcium will help get rid of the thicker patches of ice.

Calcium certainly would. Please can you upload a video of what your icy driveway looks like immediately after you have spread calcium on it? :lol:

Sorry, but I only just saw your post. That is exactly the point I was making. I haven't really had the opportunity to come across American brand cars such as Ford, GM, etc., since the nearest dealerships are fifty or more miles away, no one I know owns an American car, unless they bought an old pre-used one. I certainly didn't in any way, shape or form criticize any domestic brand car. Not sure what filter it is you are using when you read that post. My post wasn't that complex or subtle, it was only a few sentences long ...

If there was a way I could take my comments back I would do so. Tell me what I can do to somehow right this wrong. Whatever it takes, I will do it.

No it's not. If you have 2 small kiddos, a cart full of groceries you usually put kids in car, strap them in, unload groceries into car and then, what??? Walk away from the kids in the car to find a cart park or unstrap kids put them back in cart and push them to the cart park??
