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. ;)
