Скачать или смотреть Heated Driveway vs ANOTHER Buffalo Lake Effect Snow Storm // December 17th-18th, 2022

In this video I demonstrate how my 1,600 sf ft heated driveway performed during another Lake Effect Snow Storm in Buffalo, NY on December 17th, 2022.

Chapters:
00:00 - Initial Melt
01:39 - Round 2
02:08 - Round 3 (Heavier)
03:45 - Final Dry
4:45 - Outro

During this event the Lake Effect Snow Band stayed over my area for most of Saturday 12-17 and into Saturday night. It shifted back south at approx 11 pm on 12-17.

On Saturday Morning, we awoke to approx 1" of snow already on the slab and a steady snowfall. I turned the heated driveway snowmelt system on around 7:21 AM. The snow continued off & on throughout the day, becoming heavier in the late evening as the lake effect band shifted back south. If you were watching the Bills vs Dolphins football game on NFL Network, you probably noticed the heavy snow starting to arrive in the 4th quarter.

The snow continued lightly until about 2:00 am on 12-18-22, and then completely stopped and the slab was able to begin drying. By 6:30 AM, the slab was completely dry and the system was turned off.

If you’re new to my channel and want to start at the beginning, I recommend you visit my Heated Driveway / Snowmelt playlist which can be found here:    • Heated Driveway / Snow Melt System Design,...  

The playlist will have all of my videos in the correct order form start to present, regardless of the date I uploaded them. It starts with how I designed the PEX and Snowmelt Loop Layout, shows the process of installing the actual heated concrete slab, demonstrates how I did the math to calculate the boiler and pump sizes, installation of all of the components, and ends with lots of time-lapse of the system melting snow. It also includes snowmelt system startup and shutdown videos, as well as walkthroughs of the mechanical room, continuous circulation design and electrical system.
