Just getting to the part which is most lethal to apply the salt and grit would be hazardous.
I have bags of rock salt for use on the flatter areas, but the slope at the end of the neighbour's drive is a major problem, and can go from manageable (merely wet) to treacherous in a matter of a few hours.
If the weather gets really bad I don't bother to put any bins out, but wait for the next time - usually 2 weeks later.
I perhaps should have done that this last time, but I got about 80% of the way to the kerb side location, and didn't want to turn back. It was, however, touch and go whether I was going to fall over, and there were several "dynamic" moments.

Today it actually looks pleasant - some sun, shadows and blue skies. It is cold - with frosting on the ground - probably around -2 to 1 C, but no wind
Last night the weather was disgusting - lashings of rain and high winds - but now it's quiet again.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
after the rain this morning stopped we haven't really had any weather for the rest of the day.

Went out this aftenoon, and the weather worsened. Temperatures around -1 to +1 C are a pain, with either slush or ice making it hard to walk safely. Driving back was also a bit of a challenge, with part of the route back snowing hard, so driving into falling snow in the dark really quite difficult.
