Due to popular demand – yes, Molly, I'm talking about you ;) – here's another few shots of my front yard in its glacial state.
One of the best ways to make grip on an icy driveway is to throw sand on it. Downside to that is that when the ice melts, the sand sinks into it and you're slipping again. However, when the ice melts enough it sort of catches up with the sand and you get grip again. Until it melts more so the sand sinks further, and you have a very interesting cycle of grip or slip. It's a good habit to check before you try to drive your car on it.
Or you can buy snow chains just to be on the safe side.
