In one embodiment, a front mounted snow and ice melting device is also attached to the front of the vehicle to further enhance the snow and melting effect. In another embodiment, the snow and ice melting device has a frame that holds a propane tank. The frame has a handle and wheels to allow the user to maneuver the device to melt ice and snow. A riding embodiment is also shown.
