[Vision2020] In praise of YakTrax

[Craine Kit]

I agree with Cathy. Yaktrax on snow makes for very secure footing.  
However, my experience with Yaktrax is that they work great as long  
as there is something for them to bite into. If the ice is too hard  
and dense, they act more like multi-direction ice skates. If the  
sidewalk is bare, they bite my feet. It is most annoying to have to  
wear them twenty-two days after the last 1.5 inch snowfall because a  
few scattered homeowners have neglected their duty then skitter  
across their property (or get run down while walking in the street).
