Episode Summary It’s that time of year again—snow season on the prairie. On today’s episode of Hack or Whack on Northeast Radio SD, Steve and Dorene discuss the universal struggle of the clogged snowblower (and the heavy, wet snow sticking to your shovel).

While Steve shared a rather... unconventional method involving bodily fluids (allegedly from "a guy he knows"), Dorene brought a much cleaner solution to the table.

The Hack: Cooking Spray If you are tired of stopping every few feet to clear out the discharge chute or knock snow off your auger, head to your kitchen pantry.

• The Method: Take a can of non-stick cooking spray and coat the inside of your snowblower's discharge chute and the auger.

• Crucial Step: Make sure the machine is clean and dry before applying the spray.

• Bonus Use: This also works on shovels (even the big grain scoops!) to keep wet, heavy slush from sticking to the blade.

The Verdict? IT'S A HACK! This simple trick creates a slick surface that prevents snow and ice buildup, making your cleanup faster and saving your back muscles from lifting that extra snow weight.

Have a Hack? Do you have a better method than Steve’s "friend"? Let us know!
