New Ice Grippers

Another morning, more snow!!
Tractor is mighty handy now that Ken put the chains on it.
I don't have to shovel the driveway unless I want to.
Usually like shoveling but getting a bit tired of it now.
In the morning he cleared out our driveway, top and bottom
in just one hour.

 My Yak Trax (on right) are staring to wear out and one of the wires have come off.

Ordered another kind called Limm Traction Cleats (on left).

The new ones came in the mail yesterday but they were too big

for my boots so I put them on Ken's boots and ordered two more

for my boots and high top walking shoes. 

The Limm ones have cleats on the bottom that dig into the snow and ice.

Just before lunch we drove down to the hardware store in town
and happy to say that the salt came in and we got 4 bags of it.

After lunch Ken went out on the tractor again to work on getting
the driveway to the cabin cleared enough so David and Liz can
get their Jeep up it. (they left on a little trip for a couple of days)

I left about an hour after Ken to walk up to the cabin to see 
how he was getting on.
Leaving our driveway I spotted the cows just leaving the farm again.
I walked up to them and herded them back home.
As you can see from the picture you can no longer see the
cattle guard across the road - the snow and ice have covered it up
and now the cows can just walk out.

When I got up to the cabin I saw that Ken was having a bit of
trouble clearing the drive.
Too much ice underneath the snow and too hilly.
Walked down the drive and took a picture of Ken on the tractor.
Was a bit scary at times - I thought he was going to slide off the
edge of the drive into the woods, but he made it down safely.

He then turned for the house and I decided to walk up the lane.

Didn't go to the end though because it was very slippery.
Underneath the snow in places was a sheet of ice and not knowing
exactly where made walking treacherous.

When I got back home we had a cup of tea and then I knitted awhile
and read till suppertime.

Thanks for stopping by.
A happy day to you.

Rose - My Ott light is a floor lamp and you can bend it right over what you're working on.  I love it.  It's just like working in daylight.
