I thought this would be easy to get but I didn't take pics last winter and this year I just barely got enough winter precip. Our ice is only generally a problem when it warms up in the spring... The driveway is long, plus it's 25' wide up by the garage. I'd say it's at least 4,000 square feet.

I think I'm limited to 30 images so I'll do the sand-on-ice pictures in the next post...
