Ouch - The Dreaded Ice

[pomtzu]

That's a great idea with the socks - I'll have to give it a try.

What I have is called "Get A Grip", and they are stretchable rubber with a few metal cleats embedded in the bottom (in the center of the blue areas pictured) You just pull them on over the toe and heel of your shoes or boots. They came in a nylon pouch, so lots of times I just toss them in my purse when I go out, if I will be going shopping and don't know the condition of the parking lots at the stores.

I had to wear them in the yard this morning - just to get out to my car. All the melting slush from yesterday is now frozen solid.
