With our current slick sidewalks and lots more of the white stuff in the forecast over the next several days, I’d like to share with everyone some very wise advice that I got from my mother.
Don’t let the snow and ice stop you from going out; wear comfortable shoes or boots with non-slip soles and, most importantly: walk like a penguin.
It sounds funny (and it is, when you see people doing it), but it will stop you from falling over. Splay your feet, toes out, and take small, frequent steps. Slow down when you turn corners.
It’s easy to do and makes you safer.
Spread the word: walk like a penguin.
You don’t see penguins falling over, do you!
