Stay Safe on Roads and Walkways During a Treacherous Wintry Mix
• Prepare vehicles with winter tires, check batteries, and pack emergency kits for treacherous wintry mix conditions.
• Pedestrians should wear shoes with good traction and walk cautiously to avoid slips and falls on icy surfaces.
• Homeowners can prevent damage by clearing gutters, securing outdoor items, and trimming tree limbs before a wintry mix.
Preparation and caution during wintry mix
Staying safe on roads and walkways during a treacherous wintry mix requires preparation and caution. A wintry mix, a combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, can rapidly transform roads and sidewalks into hazardous surfaces. The ever-changing nature of this precipitation can lead to slushy conditions or the formation of black ice, a transparent coating of ice that is difficult to see.
