Mill hill ice trap

The road is pure ice.  Unfortunately someone drove down mill hill, but of course could not get back up.  In fact, the truck was lucky to slowly roll back down the hill and not slip off the road.

The solution is to find a shovel and throw dirt from the ditch onto the ice.  This has been done at least 3 or 4 times before.  It works but requires some effort to shovel.
