Another run into town tomorrow - this time it is getting the canopy put back on my truck. Got the coal all stacked and the garbage out on the street (collection day tomorrow).
Earlier this morning, I had spread 50 pounds of ice-melt in a single line across the worst part of the driveway and it melted a nice channel this afternoon but it is still slick as snot. It is melting a little bit, leveling out and then re-freezing at night. I hope that the channel will help drain the daytime melt-water so there is less to re-freeze. The dynamics are a bit funny as it seems to be melting more from the bottom than from the top - when I drive over it, it fractures and makes all kinds of cracking noises but the top remains very smooth and slippery. The earth is warming up. Snow is forecast for Friday so looks like we get to start this crap all over again...
