My first day in icy conditions...

This morning was my very first time walking to work in semi-serious slush/ice/snow, and I made it, thanks in large part to Yak Tracks. I got through a huge (one foot) pile of snow on the sidewalk, walked across the street without landing on my rump, even walked on the ice without losing my balance or grip. I was telling myself that Yak Tracks were the most amazing invention in the world, that winter would be absolutely no problem, that I was totally prepared and set to go skiing, polar bear swimming, ice fishing! ...Until I walked inside City Hall and my feet slid out from under me.
