It was already slick this afternoon. I had to do some errands. Went to my car and it was iced over (no garage) so I took care of that and headed to the main post office since I had something I needed to get posted today due to the holiday tomorrow. No problems. Got in, got out and headed to the other post office in our area, figured I'd grab mail from our PO box while I was close. Got out of the car and about 5 feet away I slipped and fell hard! -- somehow I ended up on my knees. No traction whatsoever. I had a time getting to the point where I could stand, then slowly inched my way inside--holding onto the bushes for support. And my box was empty. Bah! That was worth having some checks there, IMO, but no dice. So I carefully walked back and didn't fall again, but it was probably 1/4 inch of ice most of the way to my car. Still feeling it a little but I think I'm fine. I went ahead and canceled an appointment I had tomorrow, though. I'm not getting out in this stuff unless it's an emergency!
