But a good lawn type 'Broadcast Spreader', and keep a big supply of sand
or rock salt handy & covered. Those things usually cover an 8 foot swath
so once down & back up should make it safer. I fell hard on a city
sidewalk one year and it took me a month to recover.... I must have
bruised my ribs.

That's a great idea. The other day (after our latest snow) I was driving
down a back road and saw a guy pushing a spreader across his yard. At first
I laughed because it looked so unnatural until I realized what he was doing.

I wonder if the Home Depot or Lowes carries them this time of year.
