So in the winter, when it gets warm, and snow starts to melt off the roof a little, the water runs through the gutter and down the drainpipe onto the frontlawn, which is tilted downwards and flows onto the sidewalk, where at night the temperatures drop, and low and behold, there's an ice rink on the sidewalk. So any ideas of how to prevent this, or spread out the waterflow or anything?
