The frozen stuff will be gone by Tuesday, so that's not a long lay off.

I understand your concern. My wife and I were quite nearly taken out by a motorist yesterday while we were walking on the sidewalk. He got three tires up onto it. We scampered for the protection of the nearest signal pole and he narrowly missed that before he bounced away. Too many motorists are just clueless and have no business driving under any conditions, but the ice really helps them put on a show.
