    All 3 of us in this house hold worked like crazy getting wet snow off the cement driveway and sidewalk.But we go to town. icey sidewalks every place. Most of store fronts cleaned off.But right in front of (Lawyers) office.Got more ice melt-for church.DH and DS shoveled it yesterday.will spread it on today.But wear my Yak-Traks to do it.

    Interesting.......I have never seen or heard of a yaktrax before. Then again I have never seen a yak before. Yaks must be surefooted animals, either that or they are good at shoveling out churches. :)

    Take care with the shovelling as we don't want you to go hurting yourself. :setc_063: I don't know of any good yak vets who work through Christmas. ;)

    My neighbor called me weeks ago just to tell me that I may want to go get some for myself and that they were wonderful. She also said not to get cheep ones.

    If I get out before Xmas I am going to get some for my sister, hubby and myself. They seem great.

    I do have to laugh although it's not really funny. I fall on ice at least 3 times each year.
