"Showcased in a video by Kentucky-based TikTok user @pstevenson (which was reposted by the weather app Accuweather), this method of snow removal relies on covering the area - in this case, his car and walkway - with a large, thick plastic sheet or tarp before it starts to snow. For his car, he secures a part of the sheet inside of the door to prevent it from sliding off."
"For his walkway, he simply lifts and moves the plastic sheet to the side, so the snow slides off to the side instead of pulling it away.This easy, breezy snow removal hack does require a bit of planning, but because plastic sheets are affordable, accessible, and quick to set up, it shouldn't be hard to get in the habit of prepping your sheet any time there's a chance of snow."
Many homeowners in snowy regions need efficient ways to remove accumulated snow without heavy labor. The plastic sheet method involves covering cars and walkways with a large, thick plastic sheet or tarp before snowfall, securing edges (for example by tucking part of the sheet inside a car door), and then pulling the sheet off after snow stops to remove the accumulation. For walkways, lifting and shifting the sheet lets snow slide aside. The method requires planning but uses affordable, accessible materials. Two-pack 10x15-foot Frost King plastic sheets are available at Walmart for $13.52, and leftover material can be used for insulation.
