When I built my garage in 1990, I put radiant heat in the floor heated by a boiler. I also thought it would be neat to have heat in the sidewalks to melt snow. So I did the sidewalks and the driveways also. I don't have a big enough boiler to melt everything at once, but when you have a 20" snow just having the sidewalks melt is a big help.



That was this morning as are the next two.

Hey Dennis, that looks like a postcard. All we get down here is rain and cold. Rained yesterday, 25 degrees this morning, more rain coming Thurs and Fri.

What we would give for that snow in northern Wisconsin is unbelievable. All the snow tracks south and we need all we can get for our winter sports......weatherman in the north must drive a scrub......can't do nuttin right.

We're getting our share of snow this year. We have 2 corner lots, a lot of sidewalks. I wish the lot with the house had heat in the sidewalks too.

We're not working today, we don't need to be out in it.

I have a 1961 cub cadet lawn tractor with a snow blower on it. Something's not right with the clutch. I must look at it today. I can run it in low range and shift without using the clutch, when it's this deep you end up going slow anyway.



Should have a y block to run that blower.

Dennis.  I’d expect no less from a plumber than heated sidewalks and especially one whose last name is “Leeking”.  Great piece of work.

Wow, they've closed interstate 81, 83, 176 and 78. We got 20" on saturday and it looks like we're going to get at least that again today.

Out here down just a little south from Dennis, we had 33" this past weekend, and another 14" last night and today. A record to say the least...anybody seen Al Gore? I would like to have a few "words" with him...anyway, a few photos...

As the storm began this past weekend

yep, we're getting buried!!!

 that's ok - my kids dig it!

What pushes it all and does the job of moving it around where I want it? The trusty snow"plow"!!!

Well, as long as I can stay on top of it, anything over 8" and it's just too heavy to move. I plowed 4 times during the first snow, and 3 times during this one. Hate to say it, but I needed a lot of help from my next door neighbor with a front end loader

Out our front window today...

 

Dennis - think you can come down and install some of that Global Warming Sidewalk plumbing????

My Wyoming experience (living in Lander) was .....that after a while it gets heavy enough to cause you to wonder about your roof....My neighbor had a little electric snow thrower we used on a couple of occasions where it snowed for days - but it didn't blow, really piled up high. Sounds scary but...when you slip and fall off while shoveling, the snow around the house is so deep you can't get too hurt. My kid loved it....

We finally put on raised edge steel roofing - no gutters - and the snow would only pile so high before it just slid off!

Dennis..... those heated sidewalks are "cool".....great idea.
