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.

The other week when it was bad I had to sand 150' of a 6% grade...thank god for carbide spiked wading boots but my wife slid to the bottom of our hill and I really wanted to get her car up to the road.

A lot of work, took nearly 3/4 a barrel of sand.
