It’s not much of a winter wonderland without snow. That fresh dusting of snow provides the magic. But the magic can turn to horror when the snow falls faster than you can shovel.
Bare Ground Systems of Lowell, Mass., may have just the solutions. Its Bare Ground’s Anti-Snow/De-Icer promises to keep the magic, minus the headaches and backaches of shoveling.

Bare Ground is a natural grain product that dissolves snow and ice within 20 minutes. It also can be used to prevent snow from sticking to treated surfaces for 10 to 14 days. It is safe for pets and children.
Several state highway departments tested the product (Indiana, Wisconsin, New York and Washington already are using it), according to Bare Grounds spokesman Jeff Wilson.
The product can be sprayed or poured on the road or sidewalk with any garden-type sprayer. It can be applied on almost any surface–rubber, roof shingles, slate, wood, brick or new concrete. It also can be mixed with water and applied to trees and shrubs to prevent excessive ice build up.
One gallon of Bare Ground, with a reusable one-gallon capacity pump sprayer, is $39.95 (plus tax and shipping). One gallon is equal to 50 pounds of salt and protects up to a 20- by 50-foot driveway. Call 800-704-1209 or visit the company’s Web site at technoscout.com.
