Freezing Rain

We got freezing rain Saturday night into Sunday.  I could skate on my deck.  It is probably 8 feet from the door to the mailbox to get my newspaper.  I couldn't take one step, it was so slick.  Then it rained making it worse.  I finally threw ice melt out on the deck.  After awhile I tried it again and it was breaking up the ice enough to get the Sunday paper in.  I would rather have snow than ice.  I stayed in where it was safe and warm Sunday.
