Now that was funny but very dangerous. When I went out that day to start the car, there was this snow that had blown in and my concrete is that smoothe, slick kind. I realized it was too dangerous to go anywhere and had to tippy toe back out to turn the car off! We sure don’t need to take chances for a broken hip or arm or anything!
