Winter Walking

Becky and I have been trying to get some walks in around the neighborhood as we like to do but it has been hard to do with all of the snow and ice and the bitter cold too. We did get a couple of walks in this week and we were shocked at the numbers of people who had made no attempt to clear the snow and ice off of their sidewalks.

I know it's hard. I've been doing it almost every day all winter. Our sidewalk is always walkable. I shovel it regularly and I put salt down on the sidewalk... the good pet friendly kind. 

During our recent walks we've had to be very careful where we stepped because of the ice. Often times folks would clear their sidewalk but leave the snow and ice in the driveway. Can't understand that except that maybe the snow is packed down more because of the car riding over it. You could still throw some salt down. We do want to get over to the zoo very soon too and spend a little time in the Rainforest Building while it is still cold but walking over there has been a problem.

So we're looking forward to some spring time weather.
