That's so true. We have to learn how to cover our a$$ to live in this country. Dumping all the $alt to melt a block of ice feels like burning money. And on the other hand, pouring all $altwater to the toilet feels the same.

She's right. I did this and created more ice. I also have RV parking on the side of my house made of that fancy crushed rock. Well there was alot of weeds and I poured old tank water on them and they did not kill the weeds or the blades of grass.

i found that the best way to get rid of the ice is to shovel before the snow gets trampled lol
