"After growing up on the West Coast, experiencing a Chicago winter for the first time in college was a very rude awakening. Not only do I have to deal with bone-chilling wind that ripped right through my multiple layers of sweaters and coats, but several inches or feet of snow also became the norm. Shoveling snow is arguably the worst part of a snow day, thanks to the considerable amount of time and exertion that you need to clear a path to your door."
"In a video shared by TikToker @Han_Melt, they demonstrated the clever way their fiancé swapped out a shovel for a much more efficient tool while scraping snow off their driveway. "This is how my fiancé has always shoveled his driveway growing up," the TikToker wrote alongside the video, which shows their fiancé using a large piece of plywood to scoop freshly-packed snow away from their house."
"The TikToker did caution that their fiancé said that the plywood board works best "as long as you're consistent," meaning it might not do the job if you only start shoveling once you already have multiple feet of snow piled up. But it's true that shoveling snow is always harder if you're not doing it regularly, regardless. You also might need something a little"
Growing up on the West Coast made a Chicago winter feel like a rude awakening because bone-chilling winds and heavy snow became common. Shoveling consumes considerable time and physical exertion to clear paths. A viral TikTok shows swapping a shovel for a large piece of plywood to scoop freshly packed snow from a driveway, reportedly reducing clearing time to about 15 minutes. Viewers reported the plywood method cut their shoveling time in half when used consistently. The plywood approach is less effective after multiple feet of accumulation, and different tools may be needed for extreme conditions.
