Topic: Best way to melt ice

[AjaxKnights29]

Well its hard for me to say this but....

I havent reported in over a month and really want to get back on schedule. I have a ton of ice in my gauge as all liquid precip froze as we dropped below 0 today. What would be the quickest way to melt this? Also any tips for remembering every morning?

Suggest gradually.  Sink with warm water.. immerse the cylinder, be a tad patient, the ice cylinder will loosen and you can dump it out.  Whatever you do, don't microwave it!
a reminder???? Dunno... a sticky note by the coffee pot?  On the toilet tank?

Thx! That would work lol

Also any tips for remembering every morning?

If you have a smartphone or tablet, use its calendar function to make a recurring entry, for every day at 8AM or what ever. I use Google Calendar and its synced on my GS4, Nexus 7, laptop, and desktop. Then you can use the notification sound as a reminder.

I have a second outside tube and I place that by the rear door so I will remember or trip over it   The second tube is also helpful in that you can put it in place (alternate) while the one just taken from outside is inside melting the snow/ice...
