Related: About this forumI was out clearing snow and the footing was good enough to go for a walk. I just stay on top of
it and sweep my walkways.
Two miles to the store and back in about four inches of snow and I'm good for a couple of days. The breeze shifted so it was in my face both ways too. I wished I'd worn my ski goggles. I don't ski but am totally equipped for walks in about as nasty as it can get out there.
I only don't do high wind and icy sidewalks. I had my right shoulder replaced in October and can't afford a fall. I'll be good enough in a few weeks to avoid injury most likely if I do crash. I couldn't go yesterday and didn't expect to today, so I'm feeling pretty good.

I use the poles because I'm clumsy and I don't get back up so easily anymore without something to help me up. But if I'm using one or two poles falling down is unusual.
