The first ice storm always catches me off guard, as it did today. In order to get from my house to the driveway I must navigate a slippery path-actually a path of solid, treacherous, ice. I haven't loaded up on sand yet so what's a country girl to do when there's no sand on hand? Kitty Litter is a suitable alternative, hopefully you have the unscented variety ( much less objectionable) or use the cold ashes from the wood stove.
The downside: The kitty-litter is great outside but you want to avoid tracking it into the house, same for the ash. But in an emergency it's better to deal with a little dirt then to be calling out to neighbors "help I've fallen and I can't get up".
