So, how about strapping a tank of OxyAcetylene to my back, with a hose
going over my shoulder and attaching to my cane. Spark the business end
of my cane, and I can sweep a nice clean path through the snow ahead of
me. Do you think it would work?

Only problem I see with this idea is the amount of water you'd generate,
thereby flooding the path of least resistance.
In other words, you'd go from walking in 10 feet of snow, to swimming in 10
feet of freezing water.
Hmm, not much of a trade off.
Better stick with your original plan, that
Hmm, good point Victor. Although, two feet of snow does equate to a lot
less than two feet of water. However, this gives me a pretty good idea,
to tack onto my already very good idea. I can backpack a pump along with
the acetyllene, then suck up the water and spray it onto the driveways of

Dan,
If the wind is in your face, all that steam is going to come rite up at you.
Oh well you probably won't freeze!
Seriously I think the torch is too much of a point source to do a big

the snow to water conversion is either 10 inch to 1 inch or 8 inch of snow

I could probably get drawn and quartered for offending someone's rights
here, but I carried a pound of proffessional Ice Melt with me to the bus
today. The 7 minute walk only took 21 mins where as Tuesday it was 28
mins. We got 46 inches in a week in Philadelphia.

Well I just want all the damn snow to go away and how it gets done is not
important. I had to get my ladder and reach the most offending gutter with a
rather large ice dam on it. I had installed some covers that prevented leaves
from getting into the gutter, but it seems the end result may

Well, this was all good fun anyway. Yes, your run of the mill hand held
torch will do very little against any real mass of ice, as many people in
the area are finding out. My neighbors and I have kicked around a number
of concepts for bleeding off the water in the ice dams along our
