Nearly everyone has experienced
the strange effect when touching the coils of your home freezer and your
fingers
sticking to it. I had a similar experience in Canada when at -20 C I got
my
hand stuck to the car door handle.

I had a parallel problem at Gatwick one night. The car door lock was iced
up and as I tried to turn the key, the torque was sufficient to twist me
instead of the key. The ground was very slippery, my feet went from under
me and I landed quite gently on my bum. Mind you, half an hour earlier,
I had put 20 tonnes of aircraft smoothly (?!) onto the runway, so I was in
good practice at doing gentle touchdowns:-)
