why is it difficult to walk on sold ice?

To start with, it is smooth. But when you put weight on it the added pressure melts a thin layer of water, making it even more slippery - like wet linoleum or polished marble or concrete. It is actually easier to walk on very cold ice where the weight pressure is not enough to melt.
