Yeah...the spade peels the ice/compacted snow right off the road. It literally comes off in sheets that you can throw into the snow pile, or pick up with the snow shovel. Snow shovels usually just get stuck when you hit compacted snow.
Here's a pic of my back lane after about an hour of shovelling. (I think this was around Christmas Eve or Christmas Day before the 3rd dumping of snow) The pile on the centre left is no longer there and was all moved up against the green shed in the background so guests could park in front of our garage, so that pile by the shed is now twice as high.
We cleared out a path all the way to the end of the block: 
Turn 180 degrees around and see what my lazy ass neighbours have done: 
There's almost always a car stuck on the other side. I never exit from that side, hence I didn't plow all the way to the end of the block there. (plus it's actually longer to that end of the block)
Not that hard. Three or four rounds with the spade, and the snow shovel and I've got a clean path to the end of the block. I just wish people would put in a little effort to do the little piece in front of their house so there would be less havoc in the back lanes. Of course it took less than two hours for some fuckers to block each one of those lanes I had cleared out with their cars so I couldn't get through. | i see my house in the first picture hahah and the black car that parked in my spot

it's probably under a sheet of solid ice

This was my car 2 weeks ago at Bellingham airport. I had parked it there for the first 2 weeks of December, when the real snow hadn't started yet 
I just remember it was freaking cold that day and it took a good 20 mins to dig my car out and clean the snow off my car.

I wonder how much snow my car's under. It's been parked since Christmas Day, when my brother got back from 100 Mile House. I won't be back to pick my baby up until the evening of the 30th.

It is really dangerous out there. Not only to drive, but to walk. Very deceptive, the black ice is.

Dropping temperatures have resulted in extremely slick streets across Metro Vancouver. Particularly slippery areas include Marine Way in Burnaby, Lonsdale in North Van and parts of Delta. There have been many reports of accidents.
