Silicone spray

shoe polish (the paste wax type) might work????

I remember from a couple decades ago, my Dad really loved
Pam brand cooking spray, it's vegetable oil in a spray can.
If it releases stuff from a frypan, maybe snow off your
shovel. I'd try the cooking oil spray, first. Oh, some
Crisco on a paper towel, and rub it in. Works for cakes and
muffins.

Here I am 10 miles north of NYC, and we're in the middle
of (so they say) one heck of a snowstorm.

I've been out shoveling.

Problem: Snow sticks to the shovel, maybe 2 (3?) inches of
it.

Sticks so securely that you can't "jerk" it off
by thrusting the shovel out horizontally and jerking
it back, with (hopefully) the snow left hanging
in the air before THUMP hitting the ground.

Rather, have to turn it sideways, and then (not too
hard; don't want to break it!) hitting its left or
right edge against something hard (eg sidewalk, street).

QUESTION: what can I do to make it slippery enough that
the snow doesn't stick?

I've thought of ski-wax, but neither I nor my neighbors
have any.

Good ole wd-40? (Works for EVERYTHING ELSE (except maybe
for drinking))

Ideas?


(Nope, can't drive to home depot til maybe Monday (too much
snow))


Thanks!
