EEk. I've just got back from the shops here having slipped over twice on
the ice. My other half's too stingy to pay for a barber so I have to cut his
hair. I save it all in bags and put it out for the nesting birds in the
Spring. Too early for that here by far.

Here's a product which might be of interest. I've bought a pair but must
confess I haven't tried them yet in anger I tend t wear walking boos in
winter which are good on ice.

Alternatively go to Amazon and search on ice grabbers. There are several
types available.
