Check out Yak Trax.
I was walking from the house to the horse shed two days ago. We get snow here, but it's normally gone in a day or two. Its been here three weeks, and has melted and refrozen several times.
A moment not staring out at my next footfall, and boom-down, no warning, frozen ground left shoulder and head. I just laid there for a minute or so, wondering if my next year was fully f'd, and eventually came around.
Falling at 65 is no joke. Its my biggest fear. I cycle, ride horses, drive fast etc but really fear that what'll get me in the in the end is a single unprotected slip.

Denis, glad its all more or less ok.
