I've been throwing ashes from a wood furnace and wood stove on the driveway. Works REALLY well but makes an awful mess in the entry.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592184037513559644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-50792163096709829612014-01-17T16:53:21.575-05:002014-01-17T16:53:21.575-05:00OK..*hand up* We cleared out Canadian Tire of thei...OK..*hand up* We cleared out Canadian Tire of their environmentally friendly ice melter today,and we're not sorry!<br />There should be a snow/ice clearing event in the Winter Olympics ..Canadians would get gold every time.<br />Visiting for Ontario Blogger's Day from Kirkfield.<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-1788917849165917352014-01-17T16:21:29.774-05:002014-01-17T16:21:29.774-05:00Most of the paths that I like to walk are still ve...Most of the paths that I like to walk are still very icy.

Now they are covered with snow again. 400 feet, uphill. O yes, I understand.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-36296775246853379622014-01-16T00:11:47.432-05:002014-01-16T00:11:47.432-05:00I hate the slippery times too, I have an old pair ...I hate the slippery times too, I have an old pair of ski poles that I use when walking and my husband has a treking stick with a spike in it.

Our snow has melted down 2 feet in some places and there is some flooding in the Moncton area and a few rivers are very high with ice breaking up already. It will be getting colder a bit more each day now so we've been really spoiled the past almost week. The fields are all frozen ice from the rain yesterday and just a glare in the sun. Thankfully our roads are mostly bare and our driveway is too.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.com
