Excellent! Tell her she done good! My bigger ones worked better. Made up about two dozen, in various sizes. The longer ones work best vertically or diagonally. I had more than a few smaller ones hit the hard ice and slide off the roof.... They used to sell a product called Ice Viper which was shaped like those draft guards used under doors.
