I have the perfect solution, Pack your bags and move to North Carolina. Down here you stay home from school if only one snowflake falls and when it does, The salt trucks are out in full force.

Haha, I don't think moving out of the country is an option.

I'm sorry to hear that you're in such distress. You need to buy a pair of boots with excellent traction. That's for starters. Try working on your response time, and walk very slowly. Throw salt in front of you, as you walk on your driveway.

I'm sorry to hear about your fear! I will pray for you.

I don't much care for ice either. It's not so much the walking on it, but the driving on it that can be a pretty scary experience. Ecpecially when it is covered with a blanket of snow and you don't know that it is there. The next thing you know you car is sliding all over the place.

How about boots with cleats? We Canadians are supposed to laugh at ice and snow.......frankly, I dont like driving on icy roads but, i spent my childhood playing hockey on frozen ponds and I even fell through a couple times, but, you cant let your fear engulf you.....prepare as best you can, with the proper winter wear, then face your fear...you can beat this!

I have a terrible fear of driving on it. Walking on it is rather fun. Seeing it glisten in the sun is magical. But the thought of driving on it is unthinkable!

Fortunately for me, I live in a city that completely shuts down when it freezes!

Whatever you do DO NOT walk with your hands in your pockets! If you do fall with your hands in your pockets you will land flat on your face!

I've had my share of that too. Not driving... but being in a car when conditions weren't so great.

Anyway, there wasn't a lot of ice and the ice that was there I managed to get across. Only another 3-4 months to go.

I don't know why I'm so scared of the ice, maybe it's cause one of my family members fell hard and can't really walk well now after almost 2 years.

What about using a big sturdy stick to punch into the ice as you walk, it might help. We don't usually get that much ice or snow here but when we do, it freaks everyone out, me included. I sure don't like that feeling of sliding and falling.

Unfortunately, the ice is pretty much rock-hard and I'd look like an idiot.
