π¨ Massachusetts friends: ICE is everywhere right now β please slow down. π§
Even when roads look dry, black ice can be hiding on bridges, shady spots, and your home's driveway.
A few quick ways to stay safe today:
β
Take shorter steps (walk like a penguin π§)
β
Keep your hands out of your pockets so you can catch yourself
β
Use railings + watch for slick steps/porches
β
Give yourself extra braking distance in the car
β
Assume driveways + walkways are icy, especially early morning & after sunset
Homeowner tip: Sprinkle pet-safe ice melt and add traction (sand/grit) on steps and sloped driveways.
If youβre heading out remember no rush is worth a fall.
Stay safe out there, MA π
(Temps are staying below freezing today across much of the state, with more slippery travel possible midweek in areas Around the South Coast in Massachusetts and Rhode Island .
