This device has been conceived with the goal of eliminating the time and energy required to manually clear snow from one's walkway, i.e., with a snow shovel or broom. The device consists of a two-piece mat, one top mat, which sits squarely on a lower mat, designed to melt and siphon the melted snow out of the respective sides of the mat. This is accomplished by way of venting the top mat so that snow or freezing rain can fall through to the lower mat, which is equipped with a slightly graded reservoir which peaks down the lengthwise center much like a roof but only at about 2 degrees. When this reservoir is filled with salt or any other crystallized granular substance designed for the melting of snow, intermittent vents along the sides of the lower mat channel the water out of the mat and onto the sides of the walkway, for safety. This device could be implemented as soon as cold weather begins or as soon as the user receives a forecast of a snowfall. The device may be produced in varying sizes to adapt to numerous walkways, and could also be formatted to fit on stairs.
