ice patch
Sidewalk winter danger
A small area of ice on a surface, especially a road or sidewalk.
Ice patches form when water freezes in isolated spots and pose a hazard to drivers and pedestrians: She slipped on an ice patch in the parking lot.
Unlike ice sheets that cover large areas, an ice patch is localized and often unexpected.
