Good Morning Coffee Land. Hope all is well. Snowblowed a "driveway" through the yard to the back shop. Thoughts were it would dry the yard out faster so the Demon can come out without destroying the yard. We will see.
If its nice and wide it may work.
Sun will warm it up and ground will soften sooner than rest of the yard,and water may accumulate.
If you can, move it out on the frost.
