This time it is ice.
I heard Ember bark in impatience as hubby strapped the ice cleats to his shoes for the morning walk. She does have him at a disadvantage with four paw drive vs. two foot drive. Once their walk is completed, the fun begins - salting the sidewalks and driveway. I don't feel so bad now about stocking up on salt. Hopefully, it will be enough. Other folks aren't as lucky. Airports can't use salt.
