it read "bridge freezes before pavement"..huh?..but lets face it..the one we love best is "slippery when wet"..hmmm..always gets me thinkin happy thoughts !!!

(pardon the interruption) the "bridge freezes before pavement" is purrfectly valid in that it's referring to the bridge deck and as such it is exposed to the cold air both above and below; so it naturally will result in icing up during a cold wet event before the terra based roadway surface.  Sorta like things hardening and becoming moisture laden more rapidly when exposed than when concealed under garments.  'nuff said.

OK, now back to discussions of HOT and WET....

Very interesting stuff
Thank you

Thanks so much; that sure clears things up for me...

Hmm, I wonder if the Ministry for Transportation Clarification can figure out how to get all that on a street sign...It took them years of debate and several assasinations to figure out how to picture a Camel Crossing...

PEACE,
