The Snowpocalypse has passed and 2 feet of snow was
dumped on parts of Morris county! I hope all of you are safe. In the aftermath
of this storm, here are 3 things to remember:
- Watch
your step - while we see many injuries due to snow shoveling after a storm
like this, even more come in from slipping and falling. The slush on the
ground will freeze overnight, leading to black ice. Wear boots or shoes
with a traction bottom and watch your step.
- Drive
slower - black ice can make side roads slick and slowing down is the best
precaution to lessen your chances of needing to hit the brakes in order to
stop.
- Be
Paranoid - these days too many drivers and pedestrians are distracted by
texting and using their phone. Don't assume they see you. Use your horn
liberally, even if it causes a nasty look or hand gesture towards you. Oh,
and you're not using your phone when driving or walking across a street,
right?
Here are a few great links:
