SAFETY TIPS
We recommend that everyone continue to dress appropriately for the weather and use caution while traveling.
- Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing.
- Wear outer garments that are tightly woven, water repellent, or hooded.
- Wear a hat – 40 percent of your body heat can be lost from your head.
- Wear mittens that are snug at the wrist; mittens are better than gloves.
- Try to stay dry and out of the wind.
