What To Wear

Walking on snow or ice is especially treacherous.

Dress warmly and wear boots with non-skid soles (avoid plastic and leather soles). 

Keep warm, but make sure you can hear what's going on around you.  Wear a bright scarf or hat or reflective gear so drivers can see you, and whatever you wear, make sure it doesn't block your vision or make it hard for you to hear traffic.

During the daytime, wear sunglasses to help you see better and avoid hazards.

At night, wear bright clothing or reflective gear.  Dark clothing will make it difficult for motorists to see you--especially if they aren't expecting you.
