❄️ Snow + Ice = SLOW DOWN

Embrace the weather and enjoy staying home. Read that book you’ve saved, clean that closet, call an old friend..

If you must go out…Good shoes, small steps, extra time, and no phone scrolling while walking!

Falls happen fast in storms and freezing temperatures- and they’re often preventable.

If you slip, hit your head, or feel off afterward, get checked!

Stay warm. Stay upright. Stay in 💙
