Betsy lives in Hawaii. I wonder if they would have a big ice scraper like that there? Still, it is a good idea. I sharpened mine to help scrape tiles and glue off of hardwood flooring here a few years ago.

These types of tools are generally used to slice off the edges of lawns and such, however the blade on the end of it is fairly sharp enough to use as a scraper. This way you don't have to stoop over or kneel down to use the hammer and chisel. You basically keep it at a 45 or 22 and 1/2 inch angle, and scrape forward. Either way, it would be in the garden section of those stores, and they're pretty cheap.
