As spring approaches on March 20, the tail-end of winter can bring unpredictable weather, with a mix of cold mornings and warmer days, making it important to stay prepared. As winter winds down, you can continue practicing winter safety tips like dressing warmly and checking your vehicle.
Key Safety Tips:
Dress in Layers: Late winter weather can be fickle in most parts of the country. Consider dressing in layers, starting with a thermal base layer, followed by a sweater, and topping with a light jacket or trench coat.
Scattered Showers: Waterproof footwear is essential for handling rainy or wet conditions. Be aware of sudden temperature changes by checking the forecast and remain mindful of frostbite risks when venturing outside in cold conditions.
Daily SPF: Even on colder or cloudy days, protect exposed skin with sunscreen, as UV rays can still be strong.
Stay Focused: Drive carefully, as icy patches may linger on roads, and always keep an emergency kit in your car for unexpected situations.
Stay Prepared: Check your vehicle’s tires, tire pressure, and antifreeze levels to ensure safe driving conditions. Keep an emergency kit in your car with essentials like a flashlight, blankets, snacks, and water, in case of unexpected situations or weather-related delays.
