it is a common misconception to believe that wet leaves are more slippery then ice, but statistics show that your car is more likely to slide on ice then wet leaves and more crashes are caused by ice related sliding then wet leaves.

Why is ice more slippery to walk on when the temperature is 0 Celsius than when the temperature is -10 Celsius?

Ice becomes more slippery at 0 Celsius because at this temperature, a thin layer of water forms on the surface of the ice due to heat energy from friction created by pressure when walking. This layer reduces the friction between the ice and the object (like a shoe sole) making it more slippery. At -10 Celsius, this layer of water is less likely to form as the ice remains colder, providing more friction and making it less slippery.
