There are many things to hate about winter. There's the cold, the poor visibility, the snow that loves to ruin everything. You have to scrape your cars and watch your step.
Even watching your step doesn't always help when confronting the slippery villain known as ice.
It causes a lot of trouble. One afternoon, it's warm and sunny and snow is melting and running across the sidewalk and you think "oh what a beautiful day!"
And then it's night time and it's cold and all that water freezes into a hardened criminal waiting to catch you off guard. You're carrying something in or going to visit a friend possibly. And you walk, unsuspectingly, on the sidewalk and then BAM!
You have slipped on ice. Now, on top of making you look downright stupid, ice also hurts you. Elbows, knees, hips, butts. Anything it wants.
I warn you friends to walk like a penguin throughout these bitter months. It could save you from being caught off guard by this invisible fiend.
