The TikTok-Approved Solution That Makes Shoveling The Snow In Your Driveway A Breeze
Snow shoveling can be back-breaking work, especially if inches of snow have landed on your driveway. It can also take a long time. You pick up one scoop of snow, shovel it out of the way, only to repeat the process over and over. Inevitably, though, some of the snow you scoop up falls off the shovel and back onto the driveway, causing you to do the work twice. A TikTok from @zynko200 shows a brilliant way to speed up and organize the process: First, clear a path down the middle of your driveway with your snow shovel. Then, use your shovel to push snow to one side of the driveway, then the other. While the method might seem overly simplistic, it has garnered over 10,000 TikTok likes and more than 2,000 shares. TikTokers have left comments like "smart" and "that's the way to do it."
Of course, no matter the method you use, you still need the right tools. Make sure you have the perfect snow shovel that meets all your needs, specifically one you can use to push snow. And don't forget to bundle up appropriately before heading out to give this method a try.
The most efficient way to clear snow from your driveway
While the premise of this idea seems simple, its efficiency can help make shoveling your driveway a breeze. By first clearing a path down the middle of your driveway, you now have two defined sides to work with. You can then use your snow shovel to push snow to one side, then repeat on the opposite side until the driveway is clear. Pushing the snow requires less physical labor than shoveling, and the snow you clear is less likely to fall back onto your driveway, saving you time (you can also use some of the best tips and tricks to make shoveling or removing snow easier).

Want to speed the process up even more? Try an electric snow shovel, which looks similar to a mini snow blower, throwing snow out of the path as you push it. If you don't have one yet, these are the best three power snow shovels you can buy, according to Consumer Reports. Electric snow shovels are also an optimal solution if you aren't physically able to manually shovel, or you have a long driveway.
