Snow and ice covered surface aerators and methods of use
Aerators and methods for aerating snow and/or ice-covered surfaces, such as, golf greens or lawns, are provided. The aerators include a hub and cylindrical projections from the hub. The cylindrical protections are shaped and oriented to contact the snow and/or ice covered surface. Upon distribution of the aerators upon a snow and/or ice covered surface and exposure of the aerators to ambient conditions, such as, the sun, the temperature of the projections is raised above freezing which melts adjacent portions of the snow and/or ice to expose portions of the underlining surface to ambient air. A kit providing aerators is also provided.
