Yes, appearantly is quite specific to certain weather conditions, which does not help with trainslation. With things that are about the same everywhere like rain you get clear 1 on 1 translations, now I wasn't sure wether it was black ice, freezing rain, glaze ice or something else. I'm not much an ice skater myself, but you can see at 1.40 it's smooth enough:

That wouldn't work for me, it's not even certain ter will be snow or ice at all, and if there is it's usually a few days and maybe another few days in a couple of months.
