But sure didn't it pass some time for you?

Go and have a rest for an hour or so and then do it again

Its good exercise!

I'm the same emptied drive on Monday and after 2 days of more snow I've given up car is parked at bottom of the drive with nearly a foot of snow round it. Still saves on fuel I suppose.

Clear it and then put salt down? stops more settling? or if you want sont care about the enviroment, mix a saline solution with some anti freeze, and spray it across the drive.. Keeps drive Ice and Snow free
