Snow In Michigan: Effective Tips For Safely Melting Ice During Winter Storms

It’ll be a relatively drama-free St. Patrick’s Day for most of the country when it comes to weather on Friday. 

Strong thunderstorms will roll across the Gulf Coast, while parts of Michigan will get more than a foot of snow. Californians will get a bit of a break from a torrent of storms. 

According to Bob Larson, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, thunderstorms will affect cities such as New Orleans and Pensacola, Florida, and the southwestern part of Georgia.

Meanwhile, a storm that affected parts of the Midwest on Thursday is centered over Michigan on Friday, with more than a foot of snow expected in northern parts of the state and rain showers to the south.

Concrete Safe Ice Melt

If you’re looking for safe melting of ice or to make snow removal easier during a snowstorm, consider the following tips:

1. Pre-treat surfaces with ice melter before the snow hits the ground to prevent ice from sticking. This will make the ice removal process much easier.

2. Re-apply ice melt after about an inch of snow has fallen. Some ice melt products can even prevent ice from sticking for up to three days, making shoveling a breeze.

3. Use ice melt sparingly to avoid the accumulation of harmful chemicals, which can harm surfaces and vegetation. Always read and follow the instructions carefully.

4. Use a lawn fertilizer spreader or handheld spreader to apply ice melt evenly. Avoid overspreading or piling the product.

5. Apply ice melt to all outdoor areas with foot traffic, including sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots, to reduce slip-and-fall accidents.

7. You can use track mats near entrances to avoid damaging flooring. Opt for salt-free ice melts that won’t harm surfaces or leave behind harmful residues.

8. Choose ice melts that are safe for kids and pets, as some chemical-based products can cause dryness and irritation.

In conclusion, removing ice during a snowstorm can be a challenging and time-consuming task. However, by following these tips for hassle-free melting of ice, you can make the process easier, safer, and more environmentally friendly. Remember to use ice melt sparingly, dispose of it properly, and opt for products that are safe for surfaces, pets, and children.
