Salt and draftstopping

In general, our sidewalks at work are more dangerous due to the piles of salt than any snow or ice that may or could possibly accumulate. The driveway in the picture above has not been salted for a couple of days and has been pulverized pretty well by the cars. However, the sidewalk continues to be pretty treacherous.

I picked up some bread at Pennsylvania Macaroni Company today. Dave and I were admiring their draftstopping measures on their exit door. They've filled some of the gap with tape, then used fender washers and screws to attach a strip of clear hard plastic to the door on the right of the picture in order to block the airflow. Pretty crafty.
