Herein is disclosed a ground tile for melting snow and ice. The ground tile includes a flat housing having upper and lower walls and opposite sides, the upper and lower walls and opposite sides defining an interior space. The ground tile also includes first and second electrodes disposed in the interior space, the first and second electrodes being spaced apart accordingly from one another. The interior space is filled with an aqueous glycol solution, the aqueous glycol solution being configured to heat up by electric resistance when an AC current is applied between the first and the second electrodes.
