... it's a frightening (and painful) experience. It was waay early in the morning, just before sunrise, and nobody would have seen me or even heard me calling for help. After I got over the initial shock, I did the same as you. I just sort of kicked and wiggled until I could find traction on the snow.

I *thought* I was walking on 1/2" of snow on asphalt... but I'd forgotten that slippery solid ice sheets can exist BENEATH a layer of fresh snow.

Glad to know there were no broken bones. I hope you heal quickly!
