Used the 500,000 btu propane torch to clear a walking path on the driveway. I'm not a fan of salt on my concrete.

Remember when I was a youngster we had an ice storm in NE Iowa where you could literally not stand up. My brother and I took our sleds with steel runners out on the gravel roads. The challenge was to see how far we could go before we ran into the ditch. Of course after a few runs we had to try going standing up on the sleds. Great memories.

It was fun watching my neighbor put his car in reverse and immediately slide down his driveway.

I walked down to the street to see how bad it is. Slid all the way down the driveway then when I hit the street I fell feet in the air hard. Don't know if any of the neighbors were watching but I'm sure they were laughing their ass off if they did.

Main roads that are treated in DSM are pretty good. Side streets are tricky but just try and stay in the middle.

I remember a storm like that. We took our sleds down the road about a half mile to a decent hill and slid right down the gravel. Might have been the same storm you’re thinking of.

Our driveway is a skating rink, waiting for it to get above freezing so things start to melt

I haven’t but drove around CR with next to no issues. Friends are about here from MSP so just take it easy and it should be fine.

Always walk the dog. This AM I figured I'll just let him off the deck. He slid down the stairs.

Thought I might have to go down to carry our 60 lb golden doodle up our deck stairs but she managed to make it up. Surely nothing bad would have come from that if I had to.

Tried the drive to Waterloo from Marion, not impassible by any means, but if not necessary I'd still stay in.
