Seriously. Rather stupidly, I walked to work today, and despite wearing YakTrax, it took almost twice as long as normal, almost an hour and a half instead of the usual forty-five minutes, because I was making little penguin steps the whole way, because there was so much re-frozen ice beneath the layer of new-fallen snow. Despite my best efforts, I broke traction over a dozen times, but managed to catch myself before I fell. I don’t think I’ll walk home today, unless it gets a _lot_ warmer (or colder) this afternoon.
