From his website, OP is in an area with yearly cold snowy winters. I live in an area with similar winters and walking unprepared is no fun at all. I nearly broke my tailbone in a fall once, and I'm healthy and generally careful, but maybe if I had read what OP said, "Definitely walk, but be aware that surprise slick spots are a thing, and you can do something about it," I could have avoided the fall.
