Eileen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 did mine yesterday and thought of the good old days when we all did it as a matterof course when the snow first fell then it didnt leave icy patches. Our road surface is a sheet of ice and cars go along at 3 mph (good thing...) If we had each cleared our bit of street of loose snow the first day, it wouldn't have compacted in the middle into ice...

Michael Palaeologus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have a small tub of Fleur du Sel from the Camargue, would that help?

Looks like the workmen removed lots of the ice on that bit of pavement (nice one workmen) and the rest's just been hand salted and gritted.

netnanny Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Cleared my drive and pathway today. Not many people have were i live - not enough grit piles around. The pathways are very dangerous in lots of places.

Louisa Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I cleared away the ice and snow not just from my front garden but also the area directly outside my house and the elderly gentleman who lives next door (he didnt ask, but thanked me later). I agree that is a respectful and decent thing to do, and it certainly helps local councils out so they dont have any excuse for waste disposal not to come round and collect my bins for x number of weeks.

Lizziedjango Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 My car got stuck in the ice this afternoon and skidded down the hill. It was pretty scary having no control of the car and a baby in the back. My neighbours came running out...and then another guy who recently moved in near me...they shovelled for ages - over an hour - to get rid of the ice to enable me to get my car parked in its space.Actually that's a lie. I was too scared to park my car myself and begged the neighbour to do it for me, which he did. I am very grateful to them. But actually I am very angry with the council for not gritting my road. Surely this should have been done as a matter of course?

ladywotlunches Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Done mine, and have also helped to clear our elderly neighbours so they can get to their car without breaking any limbs, as the road is actually clear.Have a warm fuzzy feeling now...

absentminded Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 My boyfriend cleared our drive and the pavement outside today. I couldn't get back in the drive as it was so icy / steep. Not a good combination. The pavement on Overhill Road is like an ice rink still.
