The stuff we had in Spokane was incredibly slippery . . . dangerously slippery—ALL THE MORE SO WHEN WET.
Be safe.

Unfortunately, within the next few years as our solar system crosses the galactic plane of Milky Way, some scientists say the gravitional effects of such alignment could cause even more widespread tectonic activity.

You should check on where the “galactic plane” is, and then check where Earth is.
Plus, are any stars nearby ahead of us in this fateful crossing, and what happened to them?
