Oh, I don’t worry about it for just a day or two. I do have some of those things you can stretch over the bottom of your shoes that are supposed to “bite” into the ice. However what I find even better is to walk across the snow in my front yard, avoiding driveway altogether. I walk across the yard, staying on grass - though there is somewhat of a hill on other side of the yard - but not near as steep and ALL on a grassy area between my property line and side of neighboring yard. Then I can walk across the front of my property, still on grass until I’m opposite my mailbox on other side of road. I cross the plowed road, get my mail and reverse the process 🤪 However, if there’s black ice on the roads, all bets are off and the mail can just stay there!

You are so wise with your strategy to get to the mail box safely or not when there is black ice.
Looks like sleet ice/snow/rain all a possibility today. Grey outside, however an early walk may be my only hope today.
Take care all!
