My yard is a hockey rink - frozen boilerplate from one side to the other - my dogs were doing 360's first thing this AM...

Nearly took a digger myself - slow and easy does it, I guess til the thaw, whenever the hell that may be -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Took a spill this morning. Work is 6 block walk but all down hill in downtown. I think businesses shoveled their sidewalks less then residents. Did a sliparoo with my laptop in my bag and then my coffee mug (no handle) went rolling away. makes 5 times already this season.
I try to laugh it off but your situation was no laughing matter.

It's tough when you know tomorrow morning it will still be there. I almost slid into my garage (hadn't even opened the door yet) when I pulled into my driveway this afternoon. The ice leftover from shoveling was rough when I left this morning ,but the sun melted it just enough to make it super slippery. Be safe fellas.
