Jason, when I lived in Denver I had to walk my pups several times a day regardless of the weather. After several falls on icy roads I bought these stainless steel things you slip over your shoes. They grip into the ice. I never fell again. They were wonderful and saved me broken bones. They are not expensive. While you might only use once or twice a year, avoiding a broken hip or arm would be invaluable.

[@fields-n-feathers]

That's great advice, thank you!

[@l.m.4014]

Yes.... There are Anti-slip > Winter Ice Cleats / Traction Grips / Spikes.... to strap on the bottom of your Shoes and Boots. ($15 - $20. - $35 ) > For you Southern folks.. that don't normally deal with ICE or snow. ( and those of us that do, all the time...haha) Many different brands: YakTrax / IceTrax / Due North / Sheefly.

[@DeeDee-ey8le]

My friend in Canada swears by Yaktrax. You just slip them on over your shoes and you get instant traction in the ice.

[@amyfrancois9121]

JASON…. Morgan @ GOLD SHAW FARM in VT does his farm chores in these cleats that slide over his farm boots.

[@colly1952]

Just thought about something: if you have some coarse salt, sprinkle some where it's too slippery, like those stairs. The ice will melt right off. In temps like we have here(- 30 to 40 C), it doesn't always work, but as high as your temps are there, it will work in minutes. Of course regular salt will work too, but it would take more. You'll be able to get those egg in safety

Stay warm. Here in Orlando it is 60°. Was just at our house in NC and it was 28° and snow flurries and ice. Our gate latch froze and I had to use a flame flicker to defrost it when we left. Supposed to get down in the teens in the next few days up there. Just the few days we were there was enough for this Florida girl. ( I do have to say I played in the flurries though.)😆🥶😍❄️🌡️

I live in Canada 🇨🇦 The trick to not slipping on Ice and Snow is to walk like a penguin. Imagine looking after animals in that for 4 months 😂. My sister in Calgary woke up to -50c the other day.

[@patmartin5515]

14 this morning in Georgia. Thankfully all is well pipe wise so far. I can't imagine what you have to go through with the animals. Laughed out loud about "can't put my arms down." So true. You need to get some of those cleats you can buy to put on your shoes to walk on ice. Pretty cool things.

[@FLMegan]

Under 30 in Florida. I had to throw my fitted sheets over our palms bless their hearts. We don't do well under 60. 😂❤

[@S.R.P.2]

It's not glamorous, but growing up in Northern Michigan, I used to put a container of Morton's salt in my coat pocket. That way when I encountered ice on a surface I had to walk on, I could toss some salt in my path and it would melt the ice and provide some friction so I didn't fall. Worked well, not too expensive, and the container it comes in fits in a coat pocket. Stat safe.😊

[@poorthing]

You would think I would have come across that idea sometime in my over 70 years. Especially since I have lived all that time in NW Indiana right on Lake Michigan. Snow & lake effect snow, ice, zero temps....brrrrr!

[@Fellgla]

Lol😂 I lost count of how many times I fell. My wife saw me one time and asked if I was ok. I said " I have been practicing and I'm good at it now. 😂

[@jaditelady173mary4]

People tend 2 stay home & away from others which keeps from spreading germs when its cold. I always refuse 2 go 2 my Dr in winter 4 my semi annual checkup. The waiting rooms is filled with coughing & germs. Hence my winter hibernation keeps the sickness away.

[@cynthiamulholland2976]

If we new a freeze was coming, as soon as the temperature dropped we would hose down all of our fruit trees so that a layer of ice would form on them!!! It works as an insulator to protect the trees from damage!!! We had apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, hickory & walnut & pecan trees, grapes, raspberries, strawberries, etc... All were protected without any damage for over 50 years!!! Most people don't think outside the box but it works every time!!! Love Y'all & God Bless!!!❤❤❤

[@ButterflyKisses.]

I learned this from a nurse and every once in a while if I need to I practice it she wore a pair of sports socks over her shoes so she could go up and down the steps when she visit the client's home. When we back in the day had visitors and it snowed on us while you know the visitors, take a sheet and put it over the so they would not slip.😊

Jason you put a smile on my face. You really need to get some ice cleats for your boots. I live in Michigan. We have over 2 feet of snow and it's still snowing, and 0° to 10° temps for at least a couple of weeks. One advantage to the snow is when we fall, the snow is soft and cushions our fall. We don't stop for this weather. I put on a pair of jeans, a jacket and hop in my VW Beetle to drive through the snow. For us here in Michigan, it's just another day. But, we do have snow plows to mostly keep our roads somewhat clear. You take care. I am keeping you and Brooke in my prayers. I am wondering if it's the magnesium in the well water that's helping her. ❤🙏 Oh, and I put on 17,000 steps in a day just shoveling snow!
