My uphill driveway after plowing would thaw and freeze depending on the
temps in the course of a day or two.

Getting to the top of the driveway to fetch mail or put out the trash was
dangerous, until I saw a news segment where somebody on camera was
wearing golf shoes with metal kleets. BRILLIANT!!!!!

I found my old golf shoes and grinded the kleet tips sharp with the
dremel tool. I was able to walk up the sheet of ice driveway with every
confidence of NOT falling on my ass!
