The chili turned out to be quite tasty, if maybe a little on the mild side, at
least relative to how I usually make it, I'm pretty sure it's still way too
spicy for most people's tastes. The snow lasted throughout the day yesterday, so
I got out to deal with it first thing. There was probably a bit over a foot of
snow out there, which is a lot less than much of the surrounding area. It still
took a good couple of hours to dig us out, which has me good and tired out. Time
to heat up some chili and watch some playoff football! :)

The question is, how much would it cost to 'turn on' the driveway.
Many new bridges have a deicing system installed. See them a lot here in MN. Helps a TON.
Some newer City Hall buildings are also installing heated concrete. Shovel, turn it on, sweep off the rest, can shut it off. My guess is if you can afford to install it, you are not worried about the price to run it.
Honestly, run it for 20 years straight - covers approximately one lawsuit if someone falls with no system in place!
