What good does that do? The water would refreeze instantly, and then all the driveway would be good for is running a Zamboni on it, as it would become slippery to death.
tbh, as kids/teens, we never could figure out why folks did it, as they also usually had nice lawns, gardens, and veggies, etc. so they had ample time with the hose.
But as I water my gardens nowadays, I understand better the cathartic and therapeutic effects.
