When the mercury dips below freezing, there are all sorts of things that you have to prepare for. There will likely be snow, which means you have to break out the snow shovel or the snow blower. It might be time to put new tires on the car to stop the slipping and sliding. And if you have a driveway or sidewalk, it’s time to make sure they are clear of ice. If they are not, you can find yourself-or someone from the neighborhood-in the emergency room having a doctor in La Rose scrubs tending to a broken wrist or putting stitches in a head wound caused by a fall. Not only is this dangerous, it’s also illegal in some communities. You may get ticketed and have to pay a fine if you don’t keep your sidewalk clear of ice.

Obviously getting injured on your sidewalk or getting a ticket is something you want to avoid, but you also want to make sure you do not have any ice on your driveway. Going out to get the paper or walking the dog in the morning can be a harrowing experience if your driveway is ice-covered. And if there is any incline on your driveway, that makes it even more dangerous. More than one person has slipped and fallen on some ice on their driveway, only to find themselves getting a scan on their brain by doctors in lab coats. Or maybe they fall and break a hip. The point is, it’s easy to slip and get hurt in the wintertime when there is ice on your driveway.

Fortunately, it is not that hard to have a clear driveway and sidewalk. The most important thing to remember is to get out and clear that snow as soon as it is done falling. You do not want anyone to drive or walk over the snow. This will compact it and give it a better chance of turning into ice. If you aren’t able to clear it right away and you do get some ice, buy some salt to melt the ice at a local hardware store. As long as it is not too cold, this salt will break up the ice and allow you to shovel it away much easier. The cost of the salt is a Landau, a family physician I have completed a medical surgery to visit the emergency department should have tried to get someone must be a small price to pay.
