Get a pair of these:So now I am really confused!
I am a Florida boy and using a plow for the first time. Last snow, what happened was bad. Got a few inches of nice fluffy snow. Next day was bitterly cold and we had the grandkids. And The Wife barked at me about leaving her.
When I went out the next day, were icy patches underneath. The worst was on our steepest curve that turns toward the house, where trucks have trouble in much less.
So I got out there manually spreading deicer. And started to slide. Ran-leaped to narrow grassy shoulder beside driveway above ravine. made it! But I couldn’t stop running—gravity had me!
I fell and rolled and knocked snot out of myself. Limped for two weeks.
I've been using them for the last couple winters and they're considerable help
I have a pretty gimpy leg, so I need to be really careful when it's slick. With me, the trax aren't a cure-all, but they do lower the risk of falling
