red and green? I felt awkward asking questions, I just grabbed the value packs and ran to the counter, I kept my eyes down the whole time

how do you think my legs stay so smooth?

Oh you mean the CaCl! the calcium chloride is very flaky, didn't want it blowing back in my eyes, plus I could place it exactly where I wanted it

lol, hell no.

actually yes and no, they started melting into the ice and then it got real cold last night and everything froze back up, I think it would have been better to use socks, they should hold the water better, which would break down the calcium chloride better.

but they are calling for a possible major storm sunday and monday so I can't wait, I got up on the roof today and got about 2/3rds clear, the pucker factor was a 11. I will try and get the rest finished tomorrow.
