I get the feeling that some of that goo is left over residue from the salting/gritting of the roads in the cold snap. I wonder if they put in some sort of oil based anti-caking agent that gets left behind as the temperatures rise.

Wet but no rain means the roads are really dirty and nasty and slippy.
So much this. Took a corner into a side road yesterday and lost the back wheel, even at my slow speed. Frustrating as its over 10 degrees out there, so doesn't instinctively feel like it should be super slippy.

Wet but no rain means the roads are really dirty and nasty and slippy. Front wheel slipped out the past two evenings in row (last minor fall being in April). Last night I landed on exactly the same bruises/grazes from the evening before, including keys in pocket. Feel like I might have caught cancer from the black muck.
