C'mon, man. Did you really scrape off ice, or was it just a heavy coating of frost? Unless you had to chip at it, that doesn't count as ice. laugh

I just spent 2 1/2 hours scraping ice that was 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick out of the driveway next to the house! We normally do not use that driveway, but relatives who are coming to visit will and it was a skating rink.... I have a blister on my hand the size of a half dollar from the handle of the shovel, and I was wearing leather work gloves.
