Replying to I think I just may be on to something here...

I was down on our pond today, drilling holes and fuckin around with an underwater camera. I had used a chisel to check the ice. When I went to head off the pond I pushed the chisel in front of me, and much to my surprise, it produced snow. Straight up snow got scraped off the ice from the chisel, I later realized I could do the same with a wood boring bit and an electric drill. The problem with this is its labor intesive, you can make yourself a snowball relatively quickly but not before your had cramps up.

I'm trying to figure out a way to scrape snow off ice on a larger scale. I'm thinking I could just drag a larger blade across the pond in some form, but I dont know where to procure such a blade, or how to sharpen a long eneough piece of metal evenly. So thats about all I have, you guys help me fill in the rest.
