I am already sick of the winter season.
Nothing good is in the winter.
I am not a fan of sledding, skiing or being outside in the cold. I don’t watch the Winter Olympics. I also hate wearing thick coats, boots, scarves and hats everywhere I go. I used to hate leaving my house due to my driveway. The snow would pile up and I would need to shovel around my car. Then I would need to turn on the car heating system to melt the ice off the windshield. While it was heating, I would need to remove all the snow from the car and chip away any thick ice. Anytime I needed to leave somewhere it was a 10-15 minute process of just snow removal. Thankfully my house has a boiler system. A boiler can have piping hooked up to it and be a snowmelt system. I have piping underneath my driveway that hot water from the boiler flows through. That hot water makes the driveway heated. Now because it is heated, no snow can stick to my driveway. I can just walk outside without thick boots on. Another pro is that anything touching the heated surface feels warm as a result. My car feels heated! On bitter cold days there still is a little bit of ice. Most of the time though, all the snow and ice melts on my car due to being on a heated surface. I don’t feel this is a luxury item where I live. I absolutely needed this system.
