Going for a walk after an episode of freezing rain, or freezing snow, can be some real beautiful experiences. When the sun comes out everything's sparkly and glittery. Taking shorter strides, keeping your feet underneath you, you'll be fine. Having lived in snow and ice all my life, I learned to simply take shorter strides, more on your fore foot rather that on your heels. That's how I walk all the time anymore, nor can I wear shoes with any sort of rise in the heel. Hey, try walking on a grassy hillside barefoot. You quickly learn you have ankles and toes and they're strong, and they can flex and grip the ground ! You also realize how balanced you feel, naturally, at any angle. It's impossible to twist an ankle or knee because your body naturally moves in the direction of the resistance. It's quite amazing. It's much like how cat kneads, that motion. That's how they're so balanced and quiet when they walk, walking forefoot, their weight is always perfectly balanced, using the toes to grip the ground first, then gently dropping the rest of the foot. It's impossible to "thump"while walking, and when out on ice, if your forefoot begins to slip, because you're balanced, centered, and not "on your heels" in apprehension, you naturally adjust "in to it" and you remain upright. This is nothing magical or mysterious, it's the most natural thing in the world !
