Not so good to fall. Hope you are not damaged much.

I was very careful. Clearing a little, then salting and then going on a break. After clearing the porch and steps I didn't stand anywhere that wasn't cleared.

I went out his morning and tried busting more up but the small hoe that I call a grubbing hoe just made a hole and I wasn't able to pry chunks up. Ten or so bangs with it would loosen a small chunk. This is much worse than yesterday. I gave up and I'm making a mug of Earl Grey to drown my sorrows in and wait for the thaw in a week or two or three.
