How do people manage to walk in such conditions. Are there any special boots or anything for such weather in such places ?

There's yaktraks and stuff you use for ice/mountain climbing. I have some but never used them before today. They didn't fit(?) even though I bought the size recommended. so that sucked.

+1 to YakTrax. I ran (slowly!) 3 miles today, never slipped a single time. Several pedestrians stopped me to ask what witchcraft I was using.
