The Death Trap......

Well, we have a huge hazzard on our hands.....our front steps!  We have come to find out that our house sits at a bad angle for the winter....it doesn't see the light of day. It's been so cold that if any snow has melted it has dripped onto our front steps. because our rain gutters are full of ice.Well, today I woke up and saw that ALL of our front steps were covered in about 3 inches of ice. This is the worst it's been. Usually it's only a few steps but it must have melted and just built up and then froze over night. It's so dangerous. We haven't had any bad injuries or accidents but a few close calls.

The death trap!
The culprit....the drip!
No where for the water to go!
Thank goodness today it really warmed up that most of the ice became soft. I borrowed a handy tool from the neighbors that's like a huge ice pick and I picked away at the ice for an hour. So our front steps are clear but just in time for the next snow storm to blow in.
