How to Remove Snow Banks?
I'm sure many of you have those nasty snow banks as towers on both sides of the driveway entrance. If its soft snow, thats fine with me. But my towers are hard as ice.

Obviously, they can be shoveled away - but that would be too much effort. I'd really love some sort of melting technique....

Any ideas?

True - Rain is the best melting technique.

But I would love to rid the driveway of those towers by tonite...

sorry can't help you with the situation now

but in the future... try dumping it evenly on your lawn if possible.

buy some axe deodorant spray and a lighter. you can get them both at shopper's. just don't let go of the nozzle before you stop the lighter or you may die

i don't think you'll die, most cans have safety blow off valves.

throwing pressurized cans into campfires isn't as fun anymore.

just stab the snow bank with your shovel a bunch of times you turkey

Get a metal can and start a fire in it. After the fire been going for a while toss in a full can of ether. (kaBOOM)

That should melt all the snow in your front yard, your neighbour yard, off your car, etc.
