For safety’s sake, I’m very concerned with navigating snow and ice. A fall could put me back in the hospital or nursing home, places I’d like to avoid. I bought an ice cane attachment at Conley’s Drug Store on Railroad Avenue in Gloucester. It works great! If you hold the two white buttons together, the spikes can be lifted to face up on the cane. I also bought a pair of basic shoe cleats for my boots at Ace Hardware. We’ll see how they work. Another safety option for the snow storm we’re supposed to have is to simply stay home 🙂

That looks a lot better than a ski pole! My Dad used to call the boot studs “creepers” to my kids that has a whole different meaning. Take care Fred.

Be careful Fred! My wife loves you. But she doesn’t want to see you back there. 🙂

My risk assessment team advised me to stay home, rather than open the gallery in downtown Gloucester. Looking at the weather now (11:30am), I think I made the right decision.

Excellent post! And these are life saver’s on the ice and crusted snow! Some of them are built right into the shoes…You did make the right call and thanks for the Cleats big time over see this link also – I have about two various types one a little too high feel like walking in high heals when get on the more level stuff or area’s with little snow sound like a drill instructor with Taps on shoes…Click -Click! Memories of Basic all over again…I used them to my advantage and helped me keep in step! 🙂
Stay safe hot cup java or tea 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂

My sister worked at AGH for 47 years and had to be at work by 6 am. Those shoe cleats saved her life many times. I think you have the right idea, though. Stay home if you can.
