That there is a DECORATION!

Tree came down across the street(LOT of ice) and mostly blocked the cross-street.  So took the (I don't care if Cold Steel calls it a kukri) falcata and cut & dragged enough to clear a lane.  Lessons learned/remembered:
A half-inch of ice will turn a sharp blade.
A frozen tree branch is hard.
There's reasons I try not to do this kind of crap anymore.
