What to Wear for Services
Plan for standing in cool, damp air: thermal base layer, warm mid-layer, wind-resistant coat, plus hat and gloves. Waterproof, grippy footwear helps if flurries pass through. A small umbrella or hood is handy, but the wind may make a hood the better choice.
Road & Sidewalk Tips
With flurries around and temperatures near freezing, expect glaze on bridges and shaded sidewalks. Give yourself a few extra minutes and watch for changing traction.
