I couldn't figure it out. I thought I was so smart buying a snow shovel in 2011, but it can't help with what we have.
You need salt and a metal shovel to crack it so the salt will get in between it and help it melt. If you don't break it up, it won't do anything.

Well, I have no salt and my shovel is plastic.

Double fail.

If it has the metal blade on the front, it can still get the job done, if you handle it correctly.

Salt or a melting agent is the key.

A major cluster in No. Fulton tonight. The most recent update I heard was 300+ students sleeping in the gym in Milton. If the buses can't get up the hills, neither can the parents. The school system waited far too long to announce a closure, this time.

I'm sure many of the teachers have children themselves they'd like to be with, probably not getting paid extra either staying with their students , then having to face bickering parents picking the poor little dears up
