Brinkmanship

I think the amount of energy it takes to melt snow is so high that your flamethrower would go through an impractical amount of fuel.

I did acid once and me and my friends little sisters boyfriend filled a shopping cart with newspaper and lit it on fire and pushed it around. Maybe some kind of setup like this?

http://fmobserver.com/fargo-man-arrested-for-clearing-snow-with-flamethrower/

quote:

Fargo, ND – Local resident Todd Fox has been detained for “reckless endangerment” and “illegal use of high-powered fire-breathing weaponry” for attacking snow with his flamethrower. Fox reportedly became so fed up with the week-long blowing snow epidemic in his area that he decided to KILL IT WITH FIRE.

The neighborhood was treated with quite a show last night as Fox unleashed an inferno upon the mountainous snow palace that was his front yard. Neighbors to his immediate right and left noticed a bright orange cloud and could hear what they thought was “puff the magic dragon spewing mayhem all over hell,” which prompted one of them to notify police.

Fox stated that he was simply “fed up with battling the elements” and that he did not possess the willpower necessary to move “four billion tons of white bull poo poo.”

Police say that Fox surrendered his efforts immediately upon their arrival and that his front yard “looked like a hydrogen bomb had gone off.” They think he was just happy to be done with snow removal, even if it did mean a trip to jail.

Just get one of these for $35:



and do this:



Heres the home depot link for a $50 one. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lincoln-Electric-Inferno-Propane-Torch-Kit-KH825-01/100341111

This review: This tool has many uses but the one I use this for is melting ice around the house. No more chipping with an axe, shovel or dumping harmful salt on the walkway or driveway to clear built up ice and snow. Very fast, safe and easy.
This tool has many safety features that other similiar ones do not.
A great buy.

drat I might buy one myself, MN winters are a bitch.

I recommend spreading a line of gasoline on the sidewalk and setting it on fire with a match. Don't worry, only the gasoline parts will burn and it's much cheaper than even the $50 flame thrower.

What the gently caress do I use if Lowe's doesn't sell anything called an "ice breaker" or "ice shovel" or something? All I have is a "snow shovel" and it clearly doesn't work for ice.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Buy a bunch of giant tarps, stake one side of them down, and while snowing go out about every 20-30 minutes pull them up by the loose end and slide the snow down to the staked down side.

I dont know about breaking snow but a non sharp axe with a heavy head is called a blockbuster

Its a sledgehammer with a tapered edge. Good for splitting dry wood.
