While there are so many things you can do while the power is on , I had an idea while standing in the back porch just watching the snow fall and be blown in multiple directions . Heated driveway. Yes this only makes it easier to maneuver in that one location , in my plan it does much more.
Have you ever seen the heating element on an electric griddle or home fryer? It's a solid piece of metal with and electrical plug on the end. If this was to be inserted into a tube with a not flammable fluid that would radiate heat and, would provide a sufficient amount to metal snow and ice accumulation on your driveway. Obviously we would have to provide numerous amount of styles and material for the portion you actually drive on.
The heated tubes would be installed under the driveway material. Where does the water go you ask? I have a solution for that as well . The melted water would then flow into drains , installed at either side of the driveway. It would then be pumped into a storage container. In this container it would be filtered and sanitized to the point it becomes drinkable. This will eliminate the need for bottled water in the home . The excess water can be stored in an additional container for later use or for garden , etc , purposes.
Yes I know it sounds expensive but if technology today can produce slim hand held computers , that we call cell phones , I'm sure the same people can devise a way to make this accessible to consumers.
A smaller, home friendly, piece of technology everyone can afford !!
