We got 6” of heavy wet snow last Thursday night. Then it got really cold and it all froze solid, stuck on trees, bushes, etc. we got another 2inches on Saturday, 2 more on Monday night and a dusting on Tuesday. It was nice to have it warm up today and we saw several hours of sun and the snow finally melted off the driveway and the deck. I came home from doctor’s appointment and made mistake of thinking deck was clear. It was actually glare ice and I went down. Never even had a chance to get my hands out and landed on my head. Fortunately it hit on an icy snow mound on the edge and I did not hit my nose or mouth, but my forehead, right eye and right cheek. Quite a bit of blood followed by swelling, big bruise on cheek and cuts and scrapes on forehead. It is not pretty and will probably look worse in the morning.
