We had another ice storm. You might not be able to tell from the pictures but it is like an ice rink out there. My neighbor couldn’t even get up his stoop. Every time he tried to step up he just slid right back down. I couldn’t get either the front or back doors open. I got the front door open by pouring boiling water on the sill until enough ice had melted. I couldn’t get the back door open even with that trick and I couldn’t get in the back yard from the front yard because the gate was frozen shut. I had to take the window out the screen door and break up the ice with a shovel. It seems to be melting a bit as water is dripping everywhere around the house.
