what are some environmentaly friendly ways to remove snow
Chicago had its first measurable snowfall today. The earliest in history. Talking with Pravus in chat got me thinking. What are some of the more environmentally friendly ways to clear snow that would require more than a shovel?

Re: what are some environmentaly friendly ways to remove snow
Ohf'krissake. One reason I moved up to Boston was that I *like*
shoveling snow. Sure, the lone human can't do it quite as fast
as various mechanized means, but there's still something gratifying
about getting that "perfect carve" while redefining the boundaries
of one's driveway based entirely on how much work one is willing
to put into it. It's a utilitarian art form.

Heh. Well, it is fun if your parking lot isn't that big. But there are times when one man can't do it all and when your slave labor... Err children are too small to help out.

Re: what are some environmentaly friendly ways to remove snow
At home I use a leaf blower. Cleans the driveway and the car. On the road I use a 2 piece Ryobi snowblower. Broken down ii fits in the back of the insight. you youngens can use a shovel. When you get old and broken down don't come crying to me.

No doubt Wayne would default into a P&G routine , so effectivly the volume of snow actually removed would depend on how much snow is falling at the time  .
Unless you are able to talk him into steady state, you could be losing ground.

___To hell w/ P&G, I send the kids out to shovel snow
___In all actuality, I used to use the ATV w/ a plow for our 150 footer but have gone back to the old fashioned way and my back is breaking because of it. Getting the kids involved is sometimes like pulling teeth 
___Good Luck
___Wayne
