    Back in the day, when water wasn’t metered, folk would sit on a lawn chair in their garage, and water the concrete driveways. Good times!

      What good does that do? The water would refreeze instantly, and then all the driveway would be good for is running a Zamboni on it, as it would become slippery to death.

            tbh, as kids/teens, we never could figure out why folks did it, as they also usually had nice lawns, gardens, and veggies, etc. so they had ample time with the hose.
            But as I water my gardens nowadays, I understand better the cathartic and therapeutic effects.
