The streets are slippery now

You should leave the bikes at home

Please note the slippery driving weather. Especially the residential streets are icy. Residential streets are not sanded because they have a water/ice surface and the sand flows under the ice, so sanding is not useful.

From the carriageways, the main thoroughfares are slippery, but the residential streets are really slippery. Residential streets are not sanded because they have a water/ice surface and the sand flows under the ice. Sandblasting is of no use in this situation. 

- Now you should leave the bike at home and use public transport. And remember the reflectors and pins, urges the responsible foreman Kimmo Kauhanen. 

The slippery weather will continue at least today. Warm weather is promised for the rest of the week, when the ice will melt and the weather will improve.
