Went downtown for some shopping earlier today and was surprised by how slippery the road was. The bus I took slided on the road quite a lot all the way. All pedestrians took 10 cm step to avoid falling.
It has been raining last night and the whole day. The temperature was around 0 degrees C I guess and it was quite windy so all the rain that fell became a layer of slippery ice on the streets instantly.
Later on all the buses were taken out of traffic and they just lined themselves up on the streets. It was simply too dangerous to drive. It was dangerous to walk too. I fell once and I saw a man crawling on his feet and hands to get up after his fall.
My shopping was abruptly ended by a blackout. The buses were still not allowed to move at that time so I had to walk all the way home in the freezing rainy weather!
