violetcheetahDear everyone who clears a sidewalk in winter:
If your area is expected to get about an inch of snow followed by a layer of sleet or freezing rain, for the love of little baby bunny rabbits, DON'T SHOVEL THE PIDDLING LAYER OF SNOW! I know you probably have a car, but you still have to have, at some point in your life, walked for more than 10 yards on (a) an ice-covered walkway and (b) a walkway with a thin layer of snow between pavement and ice. Did you notice how the latter allowed for a normal pace (and a glee-inducing crunching sound), while the former demanded that you shuffle along like a drunken duck? No, not ringing a bell? Well, just trust me on this. Go ahead, put your feet up, sip some cocoa, read some Dickens. Or watch something irredeemably stupid on TV. I don't really care, as long as you stay away from the frickin' shovel.
Love,
A Duck
