<p>My garage floor has accumulated tons of snow…
I normally remove them using a shovel, but it’s too much work.
I wonder if there’s a better way.
How do you all deal with this?</p>
<p>If it is not too wet, I have used a leaf blower to move snow…</p>
<p>If you have one of those big push brooms, you could just push it out!</p>
<p>OK…I’ll bite. How did you get TOO MUCH snow inside your garage to simply shovel it out?</p>
<p>Snowblower?</p>
<p>Wow, how BIG is your garage that it is too much work to shovel it out?</p>
<p>Typically, ice and snow accumulates in the wheel wells and the vehicle’s undercarriage. In an unheated garage, it takes awhile for it to melt and drop to the floor. Before driving your car into the garage, you could walk around and kick at the accumulated snow and ice.</p>
<p>If you have a lot of ice/snow/melted water on your garage floor, you have a couple of solutions. If you have a wet/dry shop vac, you could suck up the mess. You still have to empty the canister. The other solution is to go to the hardware/big box home improvement /warehouse club and get a floor squeegee. It’s like a window squeegee, but bigger (think 18”-30”). The squeegee may or may not come with a wooden handle. Still, it’s not really expensive, even if you need to buy the handle separately. Of course, you have to move your cars out of the garage to remove the water. And the waste water is pushed onto the driveway. Then you’ll need to have some rock salt or sand to spread around to keep the waste water from refreezing…</p>
<p>The OP’s original question screams for another. </p>
<p>Why was the garage door left open in a snow storm?</p>
<p>Front end loader?</p>
<p>drains are great things for garage floors
If your garage is actually big enough to hold your stuff & get a vehicle in too, just let it melt and go down the drain.</p>
<p>Let it melt and it’ll remove itself. :D</p>
<p>I just know there is a good story here. LOL.
Only 94 days until Spring!</p>
<p>Put a portable heater in your garage. Job done.</p>

<p>Yes, move to Florida. The old snow-in-the-garage problems are much reduced there.</p>
<p>Not the same, but we have a chronic leaf-in-the-garage problem. If we leave the door open, the leaves just swirl around the corner & over the rooftop and end up in the garage every time. What a pain.</p>
<p>welder’s torch? (But don’t set fire to your house…)</p>
<p>mommusic, I had the same problem until I added a four foot long by three foot tall section of fence extending out from the garage parallel to the driveway. Now the leaves don’t make the turn into the garage and instead blow down the drive.</p>
<p>Gotta love that the OP hasn’t been heard from since the OP.</p>
<p>Maybe he’s snowed in and without power. :D</p>
<p>Or he fixed the problem by putting a roof on his garage?</p>
