Ya this is Canada it goes from 40 above to 40 below. 100 ft of concrete block wall will expand and contact over 3/4 of an inch. Hence the need for control joints. Straight vertical lines every 20’ in block walls the cracks in concrete sidewalks and roads. Frost is one of if not the most powerful things on the planet. If your driveway is close to your house by keeping the snow off it and driving on it you’ll push the frost even deeper. The ground around your house isn’t frozen because you heat it but 2 to 3 ft. away it is. And pushing in all directions trying to pop your foundation like a zit. Things are going to move there’s no stopping it all we can do is control it. IE. make it move where we want it to, not where it wants to
