If I had a vertical-axis propeller spinning above my driveway when it snows, creating an outward airflow, maybe a modest air flow would deflect the snow such that it would fall in a circle beyond my driveway.
Or instead of a blower, maybe an electrostatic attractor on one side.-- flypaper, Dec 06 2003 Think of all the snow that would 'grow' in a circle around your fan in the driveway, having settled out of the fan's intake air. I wonder if it would be more concentrated than just regular precipitation...
Either way this idea seems perfect for the halfbakery. +-- Tiger Lily, Dec 06 2003 Just when I couldn't figure out what to get Dubbya for christmas...-- Overpanic, Dec 06 2003 Use one of those outdoor propane heaters blowing down the length of your drive for the storm duration.-- waugsqueke, Dec 06 2003 random, halfbakery
