DavisStraight Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I tried to scrape my driveway the best I could but still ended up with a coating of ice and last night a half inch fell on top. I think it melts tomorrow but slippery out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 These are good pics. I tried to explain to my MIL from MD why I leave packed snow on the driveway (down there you scrape all day to bare pavement after the storm and then the sun dries it out). I told her this is what it looks like under the snow on my driveway and I think she gets it now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, if it's not frozen on the first plow, it gets dug up and makes a lot more spring work for me trying to fix it so I try to leave the first storm's snow and spend 30 minutes driving back and forth packing it down to harden it up. Add the past few storms plus the rain from yesterday, the sun angle and the shade from the trees, it's bulletproof until at least late March at this point I'm guessing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My driveway isn't long but it is gravel too. I set my snowblower a little bit high the first go round because if I don't it becomes a machine gun. I need it to stay packed snow.

I cringe just thinking about it. Up until 10 yrs ago, Mine was gravel too and i would just leave some snow on it, I usually leave the snow until its done if it looks like we will finish with showers or drizzle, But we had 0.85" of rain after 6" of snow so it was not going to matter this time around, I was kind of hoping the clippper tomorrow would have helped with 1-2" but that looks to stay north of here now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Storm brewing in SE on the 25th. May not make the corner. This is the energy the Euro buried in the SW, so we need to keep and eye on that and whether or not Euro bias is in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
