Heat From Sunshine

I was beginning to think this 3/4 inch layer of ice was going to be around forever but the sun has been out 3 days now and it's slowly melting. The weatherman predicts warm temps. for next 4 days at least plus rain a couple of them. With warm and rain the ice will be completely gone by the time the February snows hit us. I don't mind snow but ice is very hazzardess to my ability to get around. Come on sunshine the more the better.
