Sub-zero tempretures

For the past two days, we have been having sub-zero temperatures 24 hours. Yesterday night mercury dipped to -8 degrees centigrade! Temperature is expected to remain below zero for a couple of days more. Later in the week, it is expected to rise above the freezing point.

The consequence of this has been that any water fallen on road has turned into ice. This has made roads slippery. Today, I slipped over ice while cleaning my car's windshield with water. I hurt myself in the fall :-(. Curiously, the ice had been formed due the water I had poured yesterday to clean the the windshield of my car! That reminds me of the banana story - a person throws a banana peal on road and himself slips over it!
