A friendly reminder: Snow and ice cause slippery surfaces! ❄️ Stay safe and avoid slip-and-fall injuries with these tips:

✅ Wear shoes with good traction.
✅ Take small, careful steps—walk like a penguin! 🐧
✅ Keep your hands free for balance (no texting while walking).
✅ Sprinkle salt or sand on icy paths.

A little caution goes a long way!
