ice

Here you can to some extent, see the ice coating everything. Footing is really precarious. Any surface of the snow that was packed down at all by foot- or vehicle traffic is now simply ice -- uneven ice at that -- that is kinda frightening to walk on. Any hope of a footing is on the snow that has not been walked or driven over. A crust of ice covers that too, but is not thick enough so it breaks and thereby, one has some traction on the snow below. Of course, the stairs and railings outside are coated with ice. Lovely... :(
