Tips for Winter Walking
- Allow for extra time to get to your destination. Slow down and watch for ice.
- Wear sturdy shoes or boots. Remember your hat, gloves and mask to stay cozy.
- Dress in bright colors and add something reflective to be seen by drivers.
- Walk like a penguin. Arms out for balance, feet apart with toes out, bend your knees, small steps, lean forward to keep your center of gravity over your front leg.
