Anyone else tired of all the snow in the Northeast this year?
By this time next year I hope to have a killer snow removal device, the more far out the better.
I'm imagining something like a giant hairdryer that runs on rechargeable power tool batteries.
It would instantly melt a large swath of snow in front of it. (I know this idea isn't very realistic)
Anyone else have any cool snow removal gadget ideas?

We've got about three and a half feet on the ground and another foot coming next week, just outside Boston. Nowhere to put the stuff- snowbanks in some places exceed twenty feet. The snowbanks on the side of my driveway are about ten feet.
Actually, there's a house that's on a steep hill nearby, and when it was remodeled an put on the market, they actually installed a resistive heating element system under the blacktop as I heard. I can't imagine that would be that durable... but then again, I can't imagine trying that driveway with ice or snow- four wheel drive or not.
I've envisioned a heat pump system in my head a time or two- remember, the temperature goes up as you go down... and only a few feet below the surface is well above freezing even in the Arctic. Sink down twenty feet, you'd probably be able to tap enough thermal energy with a heat pump or exhanger system. 33 degrees is all you really need..
Sorry for the Imperial measures everyone.. I will be dragged kicking and screaming into Metric. I stuck to my guns, and Google replaced Dewey Decimal before I actually had to pay attention, maybe I'll get lucky again.
My yard already looks like it has a couple of igloos! There's this one next to my mailbox, with another of larger size on the other side of the driveway.
The whole yard is 2 feet deep.
The smaller peak to the right is the foot of snow on top of the mailbox, which now looks like a mailbox door floating in the snow bank from street.
