I saw two people slipping on the ice today. Came very close to being number three a couple of times, too. Buying a pair of those rubber things with spikes to attach to shoes seems a necessity here.
On the other hand, i was waiting for the bus today and noticed that the whole area around the bus stop, including a stretch of sidewalk up and down from it, are not only free of ice but totally dry. Same thing on the other side of the road. I bent down to touch the ground, and yes, it's warm. Heating elements under the pavement, i suppose.
Now that i think of it, i've seen such dry patches around the city, particularly downtown. One more factor that underlies Norway's high energy consumption, no doubt. Of course, it is either spend on that, or on mending broken bones and dislocated joints.
