Seeing that Most of Iowa and a few other states are covered with a rather uneven but definably solid layer of Ice I thought I might as well give a few safety tips:
- Assume EVERYTHING is Icy , Better Safe than Sorry
- Test your path , salt/gravel , shovel or break ice before attempting to take a small child to the car
- If you start to fall carrying a child fall backwards so they land on YOU.
- Make sure you shoes have traction of some sort.
- You can use , Salt , Bird-food and corn meal or kitty litter to create traction over icy walkways
- Hit / Break Ice to Create Traction
- You can use a cane / Pole or Broom Stick to help keep you balanced by Shoving it through ice
- Sometimes it better to walk through snow than ON ice
- Don't be afraid to shuffle if need be , better funny looking than injured
- Remember to keep an extra blanket or 3 in your car
