Ouch! Yes, those ice patches are treacherous! I have a friend who's now 
about 40, and I remember 10 years ago, in spring, he was running to the 
bus. In the shadow there was the tiniest 1 or 2 cm remainder of ice that 
he didn't see, and managed to hit exactly that spot, and fell and broke 
his leg.

In autumn, the leaves on the ground are out to get you, and in winter, the 
ice, in spring, it's the stubborn treacherous remains. In summer at least, 
we are safe! ;)

That makes me remember in my youth, when I lived in Oslo and in Zürich, in 
both cities, I lived at the top of a hill. Those winters were fun trying 
to walk to the office, down the hill, with snow and ice, in my office 
shoes. Fortunately I have a naturally good balance, so was able to "slide" 
down the hill. Getting back after work was quite a challenge though. ;)
