Heat Wave in Ukraine?

ha, just kidding.
since i had been around -18C for the past, quite awhile, actually, and it went all the way down to -8C, it felt like summer!

i first noticed that the snow/ice began to melt.  at -8C.
so, life became a bit more slippery. 
and the rate of my "almost falling" or "making up crazy dance moves" started rising exponentially.

but i haven't fallen yet in these conditions.

just yesterday i was walking with a friend that often falls.
i was walking a bit faster than she was, and i could hear she was slipping on the ice.
so i just said, careful, don't fall.
but obviously, said it too late, because then i turned around to see how she was getting on, and she was already picking herself up from the ground.
:)
she's from hawaii.  they don't walk on ice over there. 

but not it seems it's back to something colder.  -14C this morning

but i hear it's supposed to get warmer.  closer to 0C. 
my not water-proof boots will make life more fun.
