Keep sidewalks & driveways clear of ice this winter! Use sand or salt for traction—salt works best above 20°F. Watch for slick spots & shovel snow promptly. Wear shoes with good traction when walking outside. For more tips, visit: https://ow.ly/u7Hf50XQJq9

Dressing for winter weather is all about layers! Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add insulation, and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Don’t forget your warm accessories! Stay warm and enjoy the season! #AnneArundel
