they plowed my side street well enough but the highway near me looks like a solid sheet of ice after being plowed, and like, my driveway is full of it

i do not have a snow shovel lol I don't really know what to do about it, I tried to clear some of it with a push broom (it's presently as light and fluffy as snow could possibly be) but I only got like 1/4 of the way before i got tired u_u

Trick to shoveling is to push as much of it as you can and lift as little as possible. Another trick is to make use of geometry, push the snow in diagonal lines instead of straight ones (making many small triangles and rows), less snow to stack up and shovel out at once.

Yeah but I don't have a snow shovel... i guess i could use my regular shovel but it seemed very inefficient due to its small surface area

Its better than nothing, ideal is to get a long board if it isn't the heavy stuff and run that around first, then use your regular shovel to get the end of your driveway and clean up sidewalks. Eat your beanis you'll need the energy.
