Okay, so we haven’t quite been hit with the white stuff yet, but this gadget is something that may even get you a little excited for those snowy days. How many times have you just settled in with your chips and dip and beer and been nagged to go out and shovel the walk or the driveway. Now, you can simply lay out your mats, and stay in and watch the game. Tell her it’s multi-tasking, she may just love it. These mats are designed to sit outside all winter long, and when the snow starts falling, you simply turn them on and watch the snow disappear before your very eyes. That is, if you have nothing better to do. The mats heat up and will melt the snow right off your walkway or your drive way. No more risk of breaking your back in the snow, and while this may seem like the lazy way out, what’s wrong with making life a little easier.

Depending on what size you get, you can line your sidewalk or your drive way and they will plug into any old 120 V outlet. They are non-slip and constructed with rubber, and come with a six foot cord that you can even attach to an outdoor extension if your outside outlet isn’t close enough. They generate enough heat to melt as much as 2” of snow per hour, so as long as it snows, they will keep up the hard work for you. If a blizzard comes, you may still run into some shovel time, but let’s not worry about that until we have to. She may tell you they are a little pricey, around the $1000 mark, but if she would rather you get a snow blower, you will soon find the prices comparable. And who doesn’t want to fork out the money to make winter time that much less agonizing.
