Flip your lawn over and let the rest of the snow dump in the snow pan where it can melt down into the stormdrains.

As a kid I had the brilliant idea that snowplow trucks should replace the blade with a laser instead. Just melt it off! I was smart too, and figured one laser pointing out in front of the truck might not be enough, so a second one too. First melts, second one evaporates. Then I figured a 3rd off the tail of the truck could actually dry things out.

Years later, studying engineering I remembered my awesome idea, and realized I could actually do a rough calculation of how much energy it would take; say 6" of fresh snow at 25F.

Well, it turns out you'd have to strap a nuclear reactor to the back of a truck for the instantaneous and durational power needs of such a system to keep the streets clean for a few hours.

I say, lets do it.

Eat the snow. Then your body heat will naturally melt it and your gross distended stomach will contain the water.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

children are almost definitely the fastest and most cost-effective means suggested so far. you can probably get away with paying one $10 or $20 to do it for you. best free option is higher temperatures aka spring.

I don't see how. To cover my driveway and stop it from being snow covered, the child would have to be gigantic! My driveway is like 8 car lengths long, easily. And it diverges to my detached, meaning you'd have a two headed 8 -10 car length tall monster child and I imagine it would want more than TEN DOLLARS to lay there in the COLD, MAN! *shakes head incredulously*

Invade the neighboring countries and use the snow in your driveway as a kind of deterrent for the natural escalation of power that would become allied against you as you refuse to cede the land you have taken and atone for the lives you have destroyed

I propose putting several octillion tons of hydrogen gas and allowing it's own gravity to allow it to overcome strong nuclear forces to begin fusing releasing unimaginable amounts of energy, and placing your self sustaining fusion reactor about one astronomical unit away.

Eventually, within a quarter year or so, the rays from that power source will be focused enough on your hemisphere to produce heat and melt all the snow, not just in your walkway, but everywhere nearby

Lay down a heated blanket before it snows then just plug it in after the snowfall comes. Bing bang boom.

Would be easier to raise the temperature of the planet to boil the oceans away. We're like a quarter of the way there already.

These exist, I think there's some pics online from russia with a mig engine.

Imo just get a black powder, like graphite I guess? And dust the snow on the driveway with it. The black will absorb the suns energy and melt the snow.

You may need to reapply the coating but once the driveway is exposed it should eat away at it real quick.

Fresh blood should be warm enough to melt snow. Create an Aztec sacrificial mound at the top of the driveway. They figured out how to make rivers of the stuff.
