Peckhamgatecrasher Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Be careful if you are walking/driving today. Serious amount of black ice, even on busy roads like East Dulwich Road - I almost went Arsenal over Tottenham while crossing it and I saw a prang outside the petrol station.Go slow - allow lots of time for stopping.Don't recommend anyone takes a bicycle out today.Be safe!

KalamityKel Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sorry Admin I meant only to establish the type of ice we are dealing with - more dangerous on our ED roads as it can't be easily seen :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5163-black-ice-warning/#findComment-165043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisiana Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Mount Adon Park is like a vertical ice rink. Just saw a car slide down both of the bends at the LL end in a very uncontrolled manner.

Peckham native Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Have just walked into work again today & agree the roads & pavements are worse than yesterday. Lots of black ice. Don't go out on a bike! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5163-black-ice-warning/#findComment-165060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I also saw someone go arse over tit over bike on East Dulwich Road near the petrol garage. Be careful cyclists!

ThinLizzy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have stupidly/bravely/ignorantly (dependant on perspective) cycled in today for the second day -- was fairly easy yesterday but the ice did concern me a bit today. Exercised excessive caution and, although I probably look like a large boobie, a) got into work for free, b)without having to squash onto a bus and c) the chilly, hair-raising dodging between vehicles certainly woke me up ready to engage brain for the day.... mind you, not looking forward to tonight; if you're a motorist, 2, 3 or 4 wheels, please look out for us cycing fools this evening!! x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5163-black-ice-warning/#findComment-165137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
