Extremes of weather brings out the worst in peds and drivers. I've noticed that if it's very hot or cold/wind/rain/snow then everyone goes mad out there. They take much less care than on an average day weatherwise so it seems.
Went out on the mountain bike today (on road) and the weather was appalling so I was expecting peds to be in the road without looking. I have a howling front disc when wet which is quite handy to warn peds who step off the pavement. At a junction I was passing through on green lights these 2 stupid peds just step right out without even looking. I squeel the front brake which is really really noisy and difficult to miss. One ped jumps back but the other just carries on oblivious so I just manage to get round her. I don't think she'd have paid any attention if a jumbo jet approached. Totally gormless some people.
