I just ate it coming around the corner of Stanton onto Suffolk on my way to the Williamsburg bridge tonight, where a hydrant had leaked out a nice puddle that froze into an ice slick. I didn't suffer any damage other than a scraped knee and a small hole in my jeans, but some folks who checked on me said that something like four people had wiped out in the same spot the previous day, and things could have been way worse in more traffic.

I'm putting in an order for Marathon Winters now.
