And -- a non-stick cooking spray like PAM can be applied to a shovel so the snow will slide off easier.
Genius - pure genius! I have made a note of that one
On a "lesson learned" note: freshly applied duct tape doesn't appear to work well in sub-zero temperatures. Anyone else have this experience?
Yes. Sub-zero temperatures really bring out the quality differences between different duck tape flavors. I really can't say I've discovered a brand that can be said to work really well in the cold, but some of the better qualities are at least halfway decent. If you tape it to itself and apply pressure+heat with your hand, the good tape sticks (at least to itself), but not as good as you're used too. Another problem is that the cheaper brands will fray and split. They do that anyway, but the problem magnifies in the cold.
I have some rather high expectation to gorilla tape, but it remains to prove itself. My first winter season with the stuff...
