[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope.  My car is in the garage but the driveway and neighborhood is still solid ice.  [/quote]

What have you been doing?[/quote]

I’ve tried chipping away at the ice, which is impossible at this point, cleaning, laundry, organized my bedroom where things from Christmas looked messy, watching TV, texting with family, etc.  I’m ready to get out now.  Hoping it gets above freezing soon.  [/quote]

We all had the same icepack and most people have dug out already. You need a pick-axe (with goggles), or a heavy gardening shovel with metal head. I had to jump with my full weight (of 120lbs) on my gardening shovel to fracture the ice. Then I used my shovel as a lever to pry blocks away from the iceberg. Then I carried the ice blocks and piled them up in my yard (and the kids used them for snow forts). I didn't actually need my snow shovel except for Sunday, while it was still sleeting, and as a sweeper to clean up the snow dust and ice pebbles after I carried the ice blocks away.

If you don't have the right implements, ask a neighbor, or order them off Amazon or another store. Deliveries have started back up again.[/quote]

I have a heart condition and cannot do better.  Stop being ignorant and judgmental.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I too have a heart condition. If yours is severe, you are naturally excused from that sort of physical exertion. But this is not the case for most people, as you well understand. If you write a post about chipping away at the ice without mentioning your disability... be prepared for annoying comments.
