Re: Tips for safely walking on ice?
Snow is not especially slippery. Ice is a different story. And ice buried under snow, or covered with a thin layer of water, is just awful.
In Canada, at least in virtually every household I've ever been in, the general rule is that you take off your shoes when you get inside the home, and only put your shoes on when you're about to go outside. I was reading a novel that took place in America, and at one point one of the characters (a teenage boy) woke up, got out of bed, threw on his clothes and immediately put on his shoes before going down to breakfast. For me, this is absolutely weird and unheard of; you'd only do that if going to breakfast meant going outside. In this instance, he was just going downstairs in his house. So yeah, good manners is to leave your shoes at the door so you don't track grit and mud and god knows what else through someone's home.
