Earlier this week, a big boulder decided to plant itself near a European vehicle worth a pretty penny. I will demonstrate how I removed said boulder, and freeing the European vehicle.
On Monday, a colossal boulder decided to roll off a snowbank onto my driveway, thus blocking my father's car, nearly causing a hit that would cause irreparable damage. Given that my father is out of town, he didn't need to drive his car. He advised to leave the boulder there to melt, as trying to move it wouldn't be worth it (he was right though, it was really heavy, and moving it probably needed a vehicle to tug it). I considered tying up the boulder with some rope, and removing it with my mother's minivan, as it had a tow hitch. I decided to play it safe, and go the tedious, insanity-inducing method.
An updated image before the procedure. I decided this evening, to remove the boulder, since it was in no way going to melt soon.
Lunge, break, repeat.
Lunge, break, repeat.
Lunge, break, repeat...
After about repeating the ordeal for about ten minutes, I made another repetitive action for about 5 more minutes, shovelling what was left of the boulder away, and the path was cleared.
For now...

I'm from Texas. Not that I've ever have a snow boulder like that in my driveway, but if I did, I'd use propane.

I'd be concerned about the puddle that would form underneath, and inevitability freeze.

See, that's because you're Canadian and think about shit like that. For a Texan it's "boulder melted, problem SOLVED"
