My ‘snow day hack’ means you can clear your driveway in 10 seconds as warning in place for -13C cold snap to continue

THE UK experienced its coldest night of winter so far, with -13.3°C recorded in Loch Glascarnoch in Scotland. Luckily, a winter-ready woman has a 10-second snow-day hack to clear a driveway after snowfall. Tiff, aka @ogtrl, from St. Louis, Missouri filmed her snow day advice in a seven-second video on TikTok.

"Snow day hack," she said. "Put a large tarp on your driveway before the snow.". Then, when the snow fell, it would land on the tarp and be contained. The next morning, snow can be easily removed by just sliding the tarp out of the way. Tiff added: "Ta da. Driveway clean.".

The hack revealed a driveway free of any snow, sleet, or icy conditions. The cold weather cheat code didn't convince all viewers however, with some saying it wouldn't work on very heavy precipitation. One said: "Shaking my head, must be a southern. Wouldn't work in the upper Midwest.".
"It was Missouri, pretty Midwest," Tiff replied. "But not a heavy snow. Still worked though.". Someone else commented under the video: "Doesn't work if it actually snows more than an inch. You wouldn't even be able to move the tarp. Must not be from Chicago.".
Tiff responded: "We had eight inches, so nothing crazy, but also after some snow melted. Still better than ice and shovelling that portion.". One viewer remarked: "If there is more than a few inches of snow, meaning the snow would be shoveled, the tarp would be too heavy to lift.".
