Car stuck on ice on the driveway, fell twice once on the ice on my belly and could not get up for awhile.

Been there, done that! Our driveway is 1/3 mile, uphill all the way, and fully glazed; had to walk down it a couple weeks ago. Slip, slide, WHAP! Twice.

And Tuesday, had first drag the Dish Net tech's sideways minivan backwards enough to squeeze past them; then tow them to the top & the county road.

Sounds like my driveway, about the same length plus 2 curves and uphill all the way, last 30 feet pretty steep too. In the 30 years we have been here every new person that comes here comments on it. I had an appointment at the bank otherwise I would not have tried to go, laid down a bag of salt fro the top before I did. The only good thing about an uphill driveway is you can almost always get out no matter how much snow, it’s getting back up that’s the trick. Ice is the worst. I basically slid my way over to the snow off the driveway, shoveled with my hand to get it low enough so I could get over on it and then got up. I had the foresight to have my leftover-from-knee-surgery spiked cane with me in the car when I left otherwise I would not have made it up even in the snow which was almost to my hips. Sorry to get off topic. I’ll feel better once I can start garden planning.
