Black Ice Friday

Someone smart on Twitter this morning said that today was Black Ice Friday - our version of Black Friday in the US.

School buses are cancelled, the roads are treacherous, and I am staying home with the kids for the day.

It doesn't look all that dreadful outside. That's the danger with black ice - you don't see it.

But as I watched the dog slide down the steps and claw her way back up again, I realised that if I want to go out to the car to get the work I have to do (which I left in the trunk, silly me), I might need these:
It wouldn't be the first time I have skated across the driveway.

This made me think about the few times that we have had so much snow that my husband got out his cross-country skis to go to the store (and we live in the city). He also used to put the ski attachment on the chariot if he was taking the girls with him!

Enjoy your day at home!
