Ice Chopping Day

Went shopping early this morning, came home and did a couple quick projects. Now, and for the past couple hours, I’ve been chopping ice on the front deck. There’s about 3 inches of hard ice that has accumulated, a lot of it is caused by Eli laying down on the snow, it then melts and turns to ice. I just haven’t been able to get any of it up until now. The temp as risen to a nice 41°F with filtered sun. I’m not getting all of it, but most, and the area I am doing is down the center where the dogs walk and so do I. I thought of going out for a drive today, but thought I had better get this ice job done.
