I just don't understand how this would work. It's going to melt the snow and ice sure. But the water has to flow somewhere, and it's going to flow somewhere where it's going to refreeze and create an ice dam. So task successfully failed?

The ground will insulate the storm sewear most likely, meaning it won't freeze in there.

It would be the same problem with temperatures being warm in the day, and cold at night, but the pipes don't bust as is in these conditions.
