Ice!

After the warmth on Saturday and the rapid temperature fall on Sunday watch out of the ice, or "Black Ice" as it's often called.

Four block from the Jewel after church to home I fell down twice!

Watch for the flat surfaces with a slope adjacent. Snow melted, flows over the asphalt, and then freezes.

Look out for metal grate bridges too.. the two I crossed this morning I'm amazed I stayed upright. Chest and helmet covered in thin sheet of ice when I got home too. Heck of a contrast from yesterday!

Awesome. Not looking forward to the commute home. Will report if it's treacherous.

I took a spill less than a block from home on Sunday. The pavement was ok , but the crosswalk paint (or whatever) iced over first. A simple turn at the wrong spot and I was down. Careful out there.
