    He still has the salt though, so he can put it down to get back up the drive. :picard:

    Maybe should think about using more salt than is in a slab of bacon. That little container is about enough for 5 or 6 steps.

    Reminds me of towns that plow their roads when snow is forecasted to change to freezing rain. Looks like he shoveled the snow off just as the storm changed to freezing rain then is left with a slick mess

    One year at work we left the snow on the pavement before we got freezing rain, we ended up with ice we couldn’t plow!

    And that is exactly why some of my paths are now just layers of iced down snow from earlier in the week. Can't get the snow blower thru it. Just glad I got the driveway and to the fence gates before leaving for work that day.

    Did you get any warm weather this week? It was 50 here yesterday. The snow really softened up here.
