You've never heard of pre-treating? Putting down the ice melt first prevents ice from bonding to the surface.

I feel like in these conditions ice melt is counterproductive. It's going to melt a layer of snow that will then turn to ice underneath all the other snow.

I'm waiting until the final shovel tomorrow to throw it down.

Obviously you're entitled to "feel" however you want, but that's not what happens when you pre-treat.
