Only people who have no experiences with snow could think this is a good idea:) The most likely result is tht the tarp would freeze onto the ground and you'd never get it to budge.
- picture 4y agoJust put the tarp over a platform with some wheels, and a track. Problem solved

- TSiege 4y agoyeah, I feel like this would only work with powder, which happens where I live happens twice a year if we're lucky?
- kwhinnery 4y ago+1 - I don’t think this would work on the wet, angry snow we get in Minnesota in the winter.
- duxup 4y agoYou can use a leaf blower on powder too.
- binarymax 4y agoPlease god no. We have to endure leaf blowers in the autumn for people too lazy to rake - don’t also use these infernal machines in the winter.
- ars 4y agoI tried that once, it didn't actually work. You had to put the nozzle directly into the snow to make it move, snow is just too heavy and sticky.
- Minor49er 4y agoIf you throw your back out by trying to jerk the frozen tarp off the ground, you'll have the perfect excuse for not clearing snow. Genius!
- cf100clunk 4y agoIf you receive a fine from your municipality for not clearing the snow off the sidewalk that you dumped off your tarp you get even more grief from the back spasms! The ''snow police'' (zealous bylaw enforcers) are a real thing in some places.
- macintux 4y agoSolve that by living somewhere that sidewalks are rare. I’d swear they’re practically illegal here in Indianapolis. I was surprised once to see frozen, dangerous sidewalks in front of a law firm, but I suppose no one is going to be foolish enough to sue them.
- kube-system 4y agoThis is the secret advantage to culdesacs and dead end streets that people don’t often talk about. No sidewalk to be responsible for! Having a public thoroughfare that you’re legally responsible for on your property is a PITA liability.
- klyrs 4y agoA thick layer of grease under the tarp would solve that problem...
- bobleeswagger 4y agoNow you have a worse problem
- klyrs 4y agoJust add gravel and sand to the grease? Or just wear spiked shoes.

- m463 4y agojust have a second tarp. Or even two tarps with a slippery tarp between them? A tarp sandwich?
- mod 4y agoJust have a pile of tarps. Peel them off like post-it notes. Replace in fair weather.
