But you spend an hour slipping and sliding in it while you're
digging!

I wouldn't.

Then you also wouldn't while just walking across it. In fact it's
easier
to walk through snow than across cleared snow which can be icy.

Then it hasn't been cleared properly has it.

Not possible to clear a drive way 'properly' in that sense.

Yes it is.

It clearly isnt if you have JUST removed the snow and left it still icy.

The snow can be blown to another location or shoveled that would be OK,

Not if its still got ice once the snow has been removed.

you could use hot water and that would work OK provided the temerature
wasn't zero C or below the water should drain away before it freezes
again.

And when it is below zero C it would be MUCH worse than not doing that.

Any fool can clear snow away by throwing warm water on it.

You can't clear an entire driveway that way.

yes you can.

Corse you can't, you'd need too many jugs of hot water, ****wit.

That clears the snow.

And then freezes and is much more slippery than the snow was.
