Interesting - just been putting the bin out and nearly came a cropper through wet ice. This morning it was -2C here, currently it is 3C, and it had rained, then stopped, then started again. It has been noticeably slow over the last days for e car windshields to unfrost - I have been needing to preheat windows even in mid-afternoon. I went across 4 surfaces: 1 - Council slabs. Grippy for my pumps. 2 - Gravel. Grippy for my pumps. 3 - Tarmac in the lane. Grippy for my pumps. 3 - Ribbed concrete on the drive. Nearly went over. I'm assuming that was puddles from early on that had not thawed and now had a film of rain. Anybody else? Ferdinand

Does anyone have views / experience for a choice of materials and build suggestions for paths to a front door to be resilient to snow 'n' ice? More a general question brought on by taking the dustbin out on a frosty morning and an 80 year old person in the house than an urgent need. Finishes that I have around my house include Pressed Council slabs, gravel and aggregate-exposed concrete. Of those: Council Slabs are an elevated patio on adjustable rises, and is very well drained but perfectly flat so sometimes gets ice puddles. Gravel is perfect but more difficult for eg wheelchairs. Exposed aggrgate concrete looks OK and drains well as it has a fall, and is good until conditions become a little more extreme. Ferdinand
