2 easy ways to clear snow without a shovel + new snow cleaning tool to keep your back from hurting

Everyone has to clean the snow. Even those who live in an apartment are faced with this in the country, clearing the passage to the garage. And those who have a private house have nothing to say. Almost every day you have to wield a shovel.

By the way, they say that if you grease the edge of a shovel with vegetable oil or melted wax, then the snow will not stick.

But today I want to talk about methods of cleaning without a shovel and talk about one new miracle tool.

It is good if you remove the snow immediately so that it does not cake. In advance, you need to think over a place where to fold, fold the snow. We must also remember that in the spring this snow mass will begin to melt. Someone does not remove the snow in the yard at all, but builds labyrinths and slides for the entertainment of children.

Particularly lazy (no offense is said) came up with such a cleaning method without a shovel. For example, a tarp is laid near a garage or house.

So that it does not freeze to the ground, they put ropes under the fabric and sprinkle the ground with salt. After the snow has settled on it, you can easily drag the fabric to the side. Do not forget to secure the rope in advance so that it is convenient to drag.

A huge area can be cleared of snow without a shovel in such a fun way. It can be turned into a game with children. The author of the method is from West Virginia.

It simply forms a small ball of snow and starts rolling it away from itself. It turns out that the snow is collecting in a large roll. The method works with wet snow.

There is a novelty for snow removal - electric shovel. Outwardly, this device looks like a familiar tool for everyone. Is the electric shovel so good at work? It is written that it serves to remove snow 30 cm. I read reviews on the Internet (50-50). Someone likes it, someone scolds the instrument. In fact, it is a very light unit, it is simple and easy to work with it. They also write that it works only with loose, not caked snow.

Almost everyone complains that the plastic auger breaks very quickly. I would like to clarify that the auger can be rubber, metal or plastic.

If you buy such a shovel, then just not with a plastic auger.

If you hit a stone or ice, the impeller breaks. But you can buy them.

It is better to keep the device warm, since during operation snow falls on the belt drive and everything freezes. Throws snow only forward (but before 6 meters). Cord length from 5 meters (it is enough to clear the tracks). But in the cold, the cord freezes and this deprives it of its flexibility.
