Keep Warm
Road Safety
Avoid traveling on ice-covered roads, overpasses, and bridges if at all possible.
Cold Weather Gear
Wear a hat, scarf, mittens, water resistant coat and boots.
Layer-up
Wear several loose fitting layers that hold body heat and don’t absorb moisture.
Shivering Matters
Do not ignore shivering. It’s an important first sign that the body is losing heat. Persistent shivering is a signal to return indoors.
