    I'm not talking about the paths unfortunately, I'm talking about the actual roads in the estate, you can't get enough grip to get up the hill on either side.

    D.15 is lethal alright. Saw numerous people fall this morning. Its also quite dangerous pulling out of side roads, as it can be slow to get grip and no on the main road is slowing down to let you out. I could barely stand on the road to get into the car!

    As for clearing outside of your own house. No everyone is able. I cleared some of mine but some of it is like Iron and I couldn't even chip it with a heavy steel spade. I'd need to get a sledge hammer at it.

    Sorry didn't realise it was the roads you were talking about. I have been walking everywhere.

    My path was pretty severly iced over when I went to clear it.

    I threw salt all over it and left it for about a half hour. When I went back to do it, it was a bit more manageable.
