One thing: as Gene explained, one of the meanings of flice is a thin veneer of ice that forms on the roadway and is quite a hazard to motorists.
I was not intending flice as a metaphor; it is merely descriptive as white snow would be, except white snow is generic and redundant, while flice is ice that occurs in specific places and under specific meteorological and physical conditions (rain or recent melt on fltop, followed by a return to freezing temperatures).
I would agree that flice has a connotation of danger for those who would venture on the road, but I am not sure that this would extend to being a metaphor (for danger, for example).
