What to Wear & Road Tips
Dress for the wind: a thermal base layer, a warm mid-layer, and a wind-resistant jacket. Add a toque and insulated gloves—they make the flurry bursts and gusts much easier to handle. Choose waterproof, grippy footwear for icy patches after dark. On the roads, leave extra space, expect crosswinds on open sections, and slow down when snow bands reduce visibility.
Greenstone Weather Trivia
When northwest winds climb the local high ground, they can squeeze out extra flurries. That’s why one end of town can see a quick dusting while another stays merely grey—terrain matters.
