Gary was in Chicago again today, so I did all the animal chores, plus grocery shopping and making supper for when he got back. It got warm enough for some of the ice to get rotten and slushy in spots. I found that shoveling it away didn't help, because water would fill in the gap and that was sure to freeze back to mirror surfaces before morning. So I took a rake and roughed it up, leaving the slush where it was lying. Hopefully that will make for a less slippery surface come morning.
Time to collapse now.
