Strategies to reduce snow drifts?

[Cyclonepride]

There are no practical solutions, unless you have a Chinook and something really big to drop in place of a fence. Sorry.

just throw a couple of these out to clear a path. should do the trick.

None of these suggestions have been helpful. Maybe there is no real solutions beyond the snow fence.

Thats kind of a rude response. I thought the wood pallet idea would be helpful if you had access. There is a reason why snow fences are used or else everyone would just throw something up the night before a storm.

You play such a good straight man for a comedy skit, I swear!

Here it goes, in no particular order:

1) Flame Thrower
2) Incendiary Grenades
3) Napalm, or in a pinch, diesel fuel - just make sure to light it, but no TOO close to the house...
4) Four wheelin fun!
5) Invite Al Gore over to speak to the snowdrifts -

6) Move your junked cars from the front yard to where the snow drifts are accumulating.
7) Invite CycloneFanatics over for a tailgate party and tell them to grill where the snow drifts are.
8) Move south, waay south.
9) Get in touch with Native American roots and build and igloo and pretend you're an Eskimo (that's inuit people if you reaaly want to do it right).
10) Large cooling fans placed behind a propane grill on full bore.
11) Tell neighbors you have a bad back and ask them if they would kindly shovel out your driveway and sidewalk, and while you're at it, could you get the roof too?

Actually, I missed that post. That was a good idea, I Just don't have wood pallets.

Pointless when you don't have a neighbor's driveway to bury.

take your neighbors hose, as to not freeze your own pipes, and just soak your driveway and yard. the snow will blow right over the top and on down to the next yard?

park all your cars on the up wind side of the driveway?

stand outside double-fisting blowdryers and fight the good fight?

I can tell you from experience if you spray carpet cleaner or something on snow and throw a match on it....it melts....reallly, really fast.

This.

just give the neighbor that judges you for doing this the finger and laugh at them tomorrow when they're shoveling the drifts!!

My dad wondered how I took an inch or so of ice and a few inches of snow off the driveway in such a short amount of time...I was probably 15-16 at the time :wideeyed:
