Does anybody else get nervous at the first hint of frost?

The weird thing is, I've never actually fallen on ice, just slipped occasionally. I've been known to take annual leave days to avoid walking to work when it's snowy or icy out, or occasionally take a cab when that wasn't an option.

Today was the first properly cold day this winter, and while it was mostly okay outside, the external staircase leading down from our maisonette was covered in ice. I walked in the road halfway to work just so I could get myself calmed down before I was able to talk myself back to sanity and get back on the path (once I've got my breathing under control I've learned to enjoy walking in crunchy snow, at least).

Am I the only one?
